Accuracy Pytorch
Katina Piccirilli
I am working on a Neural Network problem, to classify data as 1 or 0. I am using Binary cross entropy loss to do this. The loss is fine, however, the accuracy is very low and isn't improving. I am assuming I did a mistake in the accuracy calculation. After every epoch, I am calculating the correct predictions after thresholding the output, and dividing that number by the total number of the dataset. Is there any thing wrong I did in the accuracy calculation? And why isn't it improving, but getting more worse?This is my code:
Is x the entire input dataset? If so, you might be dividing by the size of the entire input dataset in correct/x.shape[0] (as opposed to the size of the mini-batch). Try changing this to correct/output.shape[0]
the main thing is that you have to reduce/collapse the dimension where the classification raw value/logit is with a max and then select it with a .indices. Usually this is dimensions 1 since dim 0 has the batch size e.g. [batch_size,D_classification] where the raw data might of size [batch_size,C,H,W]
I want to calculate training accuracy and testing accuracy.In calculating in my code,training accuracy is tensor,not a number.Moreover,in converting numpy(),the accuracy is 2138.0 ,I used ypred and target in calculating accuracy.Why does the problem appear?Please answer how I solve.Thanks in advance!
As a general knowledge, you can calculate the accuracy on the training set based on your your metric defined beforehand. As an example, you can use the L1,L2 difference between two numpy arrays as a metric.
This module is a simple wrapper to get the task specific versions of this metric, which is done by setting thetask argument to either 'binary', 'multiclass' or multilabel. See the documentation ofBinaryAccuracy, MulticlassAccuracy andMultilabelAccuracy for the specific details of each argument influence andexamples.
preds (Tensor): An int or float tensor of shape (N, ...). If preds is a floatingpoint tensor with values outside [0,1] range we consider the input to be logits and will auto apply sigmoidper element. Additionally, we convert to int tensor with thresholding using the value in threshold.

As a data scientist, you may be familiar with PyTorch, a popular open-source machine learning library that allows you to build and train deep learning models. One of the most important metrics in evaluating the performance of a model is its accuracy. In this blog post, we will discuss how to calculate the accuracy of a PyTorch model every epoch.
Accuracy is a common metric used in classification tasks to evaluate how well a model classifies data into the correct classes. It is defined as the percentage of correctly classified samples out of all the samples in the dataset. The formula for accuracy is:
In order to calculate the accuracy of a PyTorch model, we need to compare the predicted labels with the actual labels for each batch of data during training. PyTorch provides a simple way to do this using the torch.argmax function, which returns the index of the maximum value in a tensor along a specified dimension.
We then update the running total of correct predictions and samples by comparing the predicted labels with the actual labels using the == operator and summing up the number of matches using the sum function. Finally, we calculate the accuracy for this epoch by dividing the total number of correct predictions by the total number of samples and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.
Calculating the accuracy of a PyTorch model every epoch is an essential step in evaluating the performance of your model during training. By comparing the predicted labels with the actual labels for each batch of data, you can get a sense of how well your model is classifying the data and whether you need to make any adjustments to your model or hyperparameters.
In this blog post, we showed you how to calculate the accuracy of a PyTorch model using the torch.max function, and how to visualize the results using matplotlib. We hope that this guide will be helpful to you as you continue to work with PyTorch and build even better deep learning models.

When it comes to deep learning, most frameworks do not come with prepackaged training, validation and accuracy functions or methods. Getting started with these functionalities can therefore be a challenge to many engineers when they are first tackling data science problems. In most cases, these processes need to be manually implemented. At this point, it becomes tricky. In order to write these functions, one needs to actually understand what the processes entail. In this beginner's tutorial article, we will examine the above mentioned processes theoretically at a high level and implement them in PyTorch before putting them together and training a convolutional neural network for a classification task.
Below are some of the imported libraries we will use for the task. Each is pre-installed in Gradient Notebook's Deep Learning runtimes, so use the link above to quick start this tutorial on a free GPU.
Firstly, when talking about a model borne from a neural network, be it a multi layer perceptron, convolutional neural network or generative adversarial network etc, these models are simply made up of 'numbers', numbers which are weights and biases collectively called parameters. A neural network with 20 million parameters is simply one with 20 million numbers, each one influencing any instance of data that passes through the network (multiplicative for weights, additive for biases). Following this logic, when a 28 x 28 pixel image is passed through a convolutional neural network with 20 million parameters, all 784 pixels will in fact encounter and be transformed by all 20 million parameters in some way.
Consider the custom built convnet below, the output layer returns a two element vector representation therefore it is safe to conclude that its objective is to help solve a binary classification task.
Assume we would like to train this convnet to correctly distinguish cats, labelled 0, from dogs, labelled 1. Essentially, what we are trying to do on a low level is to ensure that whenever an image of a cat is passed through the network, and all it's pixels interact with all 197,898 parameters in this convnet, that the first element in the output vector (index 0) will be greater than the second element (index 1) eg [0.65, 0.35]. Otherwise, if an image of a dog is passed through, then the second element (index 1) is expected to be greater eg [0.20, 0.80].
Now, we can begin to perceive the enormity of the model objective, and, yes, there exist a combination of 197,898 numbers/parameters in the millions of permutations possible that allow us to do just that which we have described in the previous paragraph. Looking for this permutation is simply what the training process entails.
When ever a neural network is instantiated, it's parameters are all randomized, or if you are initializing parameters through a particular technique they will not be random but follow initializations specific to that particular technique. Notwithstanding, at initialization the network parameters will not fit the model objective at hand such that if the model is used in that state random classifications will be obtained.
The goal now is to find the right combination of 197,898 parameters which will allow us to archive our objective. To do this, we need to break training images into batches, and then pass a batch through the convnet, measure how wrong our classifications are (forward propagation), adjust all 197,898 parameters slightly in the direction which best fits our objective (backpropagation), and then repeat for all other batches until the training data is exhausted. This process is called optimization.
