MultiLabelMetric

class mmcls.evaluation.MultiLabelMetric(thr=None, topk=None, items=('precision', 'recall', 'f1-score'), average='macro', collect_device='cpu', prefix=None)

A collection of precision, recall, f1-score and support for multi-label tasks.

The collection of metrics is for single-label multi-class classification. And all these metrics are based on the confusion matrix of every category:

All metrics can be formulated use variables above:

Precision is the fraction of correct predictions in all predictions:

\[\text{Precision} = \frac{TP}{TP+FP}\]

Recall is the fraction of correct predictions in all targets:

\[\text{Recall} = \frac{TP}{TP+FN}\]

F1-score is the harmonic mean of the precision and recall:

\[\text{F1-score} = \frac{2\times\text{Recall}\times\text{Precision}}{\text{Recall}+\text{Precision}}\]

Support is the number of samples:

\[\text{Support} = TP + TN + FN + FP\]

Parameters

• thr (float, optional) – Predictions with scores under the threshold are considered as negative. If None, the topk predictions will be considered as positive. If the topk is also None, use thr=0.5 as default. Defaults to None.

• topk (int, optional) – Predictions with the k-th highest scores are considered as positive. If None, use thr to determine positive predictions. If both thr and topk are not None, use thr. Defaults to None.

• items (Sequence[str]) – The detailed metric items to evaluate, select from “precision”, “recall”, “f1-score” and “support”. Defaults to ('precision', 'recall', 'f1-score').

• average (str | None) –

  How to calculate the final metrics from the confusion matrix of every category. It supports three modes:

  • ”macro”: Calculate metrics for each category, and calculate the mean value over all categories.

  • ”micro”: Average the confusion matrix over all categories and calculate metrics on the mean confusion matrix.

  • None: Calculate metrics of every category and output directly.

  Defaults to “macro”.

• collect_device (str) – Device name used for collecting results from different ranks during distributed training. Must be ‘cpu’ or ‘gpu’. Defaults to ‘cpu’.

• prefix (str, optional) – The prefix that will be added in the metric names to disambiguate homonymous metrics of different evaluators. If prefix is not provided in the argument, self.default_prefix will be used instead. Defaults to None.

static calculate(pred, target, pred_indices=False, target_indices=False, average='macro', thr=None, topk=None, num_classes=None)

Calculate the precision, recall, f1-score.

Parameters

• target (torch.Tensor | np.ndarray | Sequence) – The prediction results. A torch.Tensor or np.ndarray with shape (N, num_classes) or a sequence of index/onehot format labels.

• pred_indices (bool) – Whether the pred is a sequence of category index labels. If True, num_classes must be set. Defaults to False.

• target_indices (bool) – Whether the target is a sequence of category index labels. If True, num_classes must be set. Defaults to False.

• average (str | None) –

  How to calculate the final metrics from the confusion matrix of every category. It supports three modes:

  • ”micro”: Average the confusion matrix over all categories and calculate metrics on the mean confusion matrix.

  • None: Calculate metrics of every category and output directly.

  Defaults to “macro”.

• thr (float, optional) – Predictions with scores under the thresholds are considered as negative. Defaults to None.

• topk (int, optional) – Predictions with the k-th highest scores are considered as positive. Defaults to None.

• num_classes (Optional, int) – The number of classes. If the pred is indices instead of onehot, this argument is required. Defaults to None.

Returns

The tuple contains precision, recall and f1-score. And the type of each item is:

• torch.Tensor: A tensor for each metric. The shape is (1, ) if average is not None, and (C, ) if average is None.

Return type

Tuple

Notes

If both thr and topk are set, use thr` to determine positive predictions. If neither is set, use ``thr=0.5 as default.

compute_metrics(results)

Compute the metrics from processed results.

Parameters

results (list) – The processed results of each batch.

Returns

The computed metrics. The keys are the names of the metrics, and the values are corresponding results.

Return type

Dict

process(data_batch, data_samples)

Process one batch of data samples.

The processed results should be stored in self.results, which will be used to computed the metrics when all batches have been processed.

Parameters

• data_batch – A batch of data from the dataloader.

• data_samples (Sequence[dict]) – A batch of outputs from the model.
