Questions tagged [triplet-loss]

Triplet losses are defined in terms of the contrast between three inputs. Each of the inputs has an associated class label, and the goal is to map all inputs of the same class to the same point, while all inputs from other classes are mapped to different points some distance away. It's called a triplet because the loss is computed using an anchor, a sample belonging to the same class as the anchor, and a sample belonging to a different class.

Euclidean and geodesic distance have different gradients. Does mixing the two concepts impair triplet learning?

The triplet loss is defined by Florian Schroff, Dmitry Kalenichenko, James Philbin in "FaceNet: A Unified Embedding for Face Recognition and Clustering" as $$ \mathcal L = \sum_\mathcal T \...

How to use cosine similarity within triplet loss

The triplet loss is defined as follows: $$ L(A, P, N) = max(‖f(A) - f(P)‖² - ‖f(A) - f(N)‖² + margin, 0) $$ where $A$=anchor, $P$=positive, and $N$=negative are the data samples in the loss, and $...

How to use a Siamese network at test time? [closed]

I am trying to understand Siamese networks, and understand how to train them. Once I have a trained network, I want to know if a new image is close or far to other images in the train set, and fail to ...

Why does cotrastive loss and triplet loss have the margin element in them?

Trying to learn Siamese networks for ranking tasks from here, I find it hard to understand why triplet loss and contrastive losses have the "margin" element in them. The contrastive loss $L(...

Why does triplet loss outperform contrastive loss?

Trying to learn Siamese networks for ranking tasks from here, I find it hard to understand why triplet loss was ever introduced at all, theoretically. I understand it works better in practice, but ...

Resnet model does not train with triplet loss, while VGG16 is able to train, why?

I am trying to do a transfer learning with ResNet50V2 model using triplet loss function. I have kept Include_top = False, input shape = (160,160,3) with Imagenet weights. The last 3 layers of my model ...

In training a triplet network, I first have a solid drop in loss, but eventually the loss slowly but consistently increases. What could cause this?

I haven't even finished 1 epoch, so I don't think it could any sort of overfitting. I am training on a very large amount of data (27 gb of text) so it'll still be a while before I even reach one epoch....

Is there any algorithms/models to generate embedings of sequential data (other than RNN)?

I know that RNN can be used for such task. For instance facenet used rnn with triplet loss. But maybe there are some less sophisticated alternatives to try first?

Learning useful semantic representations of data

Training a neural network on its final task (e.g. classification) right from the beginning is not always the best way to go. I'd like to make a short list of recognized methods of motivating a NN to ...

Why the Triplet Loss function distincts anchor and positive?

I read the paper and I understand that anchoring one image and select corresponding semi-hard positives and negatives is an efficient way of generating samples. However, I don't understand why the ...
