Hi,everyone.

Do you know the meaning of the average_loss in googlenet? Could you tell me?

Thanks

I'd also like to know that.

smooth the loss via average, average_loss is the size to calculate the average
see the code in caffe/src/caffe/solver.cpp

    if (losses.size() < average_loss) {
      losses.push_back(loss);
      int size = losses.size();
      smoothed_loss = (smoothed_loss * (size - 1) + loss) / size;
    } else {
      int idx = (iter_ - start_iter) % average_loss;
      smoothed_loss += (loss - losses[idx]) / average_loss;
      losses[idx] = loss;
    }

So is this average_loss parameter related to other parameters?
