## Theory

When training dataset labels are imbalanced, one thing to do is to balance the loss across sample classes.

- First, the effective number of samples are calculated for all classes as:

- Then the class balanced loss function is defined as:

## Installation

```bash
pip install balanced-loss
```

## Usage

- Standard losses:

```python
import torch
from balanced_loss import Loss

# outputs and labels
logits = torch.tensor([[0.78, 0.1, 0.05]]) # 1 batch, 3 class
labels = torch.tensor([0]) # 1 batch

# focal loss
focal_loss = Loss(loss_type="focal_loss")
loss = focal_loss(logits, labels)
```

```python
# cross-entropy loss
ce_loss = Loss(loss_type="cross_entropy")
loss = ce_loss(logits, labels)
```

```python
# binary cross-entropy loss
bce_loss = Loss(loss_type="binary_cross_entropy")
loss = bce_loss(logits, labels)
```

- Class-balanced losses:

```python
import torch
from balanced_loss import Loss

# outputs and labels
logits = torch.tensor([[0.78, 0.1, 0.05]]) # 1 batch, 3 class
labels = torch.tensor([0]) # 1 batch

# number of samples per class in the training dataset
samples_per_class = [30, 100, 25] # 30, 100, 25 samples for labels 0, 1 and 2, respectively

# class-balanced focal loss
focal_loss = Loss(
    loss_type="focal_loss",
    samples_per_class=samples_per_class,
    class_balanced=True
)
loss = focal_loss(logits, labels)
```

```python
# class-balanced cross-entropy loss
ce_loss = Loss(
    loss_type="cross_entropy",
    samples_per_class=samples_per_class,
    class_balanced=True
)
loss = ce_loss(logits, labels)
```

```python
# class-balanced binary cross-entropy loss
bce_loss = Loss(
    loss_type="binary_cross_entropy",
    samples_per_class=samples_per_class,
    class_balanced=True
)
loss = bce_loss(logits, labels)
```

- Customize parameters:

```python
import torch
from balanced_loss import Loss

# outputs and labels
logits = torch.tensor([[0.78, 0.1, 0.05]]) # 1 batch, 3 class
labels = torch.tensor([0])

# number of samples per class in the training dataset
samples_per_class = [30, 100, 25] # 30, 100, 25 samples for labels 0, 1 and 2, respectively

# class-balanced focal loss
focal_loss = Loss(
    loss_type="focal_loss",
    beta=0.999, # class-balanced loss beta
    fl_gamma=2, # focal loss gamma
    samples_per_class=samples_per_class,
    class_balanced=True
)
loss = focal_loss(logits, labels)
```

## Improvements

What is the difference between this repo and vandit15's?

- This repo is a pypi installable package
- This repo implements loss functions as `torch.nn.Module`
- In addition to class balanced losses, this repo also supports the standard versions of the cross entropy/focal loss etc. over the same API
- All typos and errors in vandit15's source are fixed
- Continiously tested on PyTorch 1.13.1 and 2.5.1
