tf.keras.losses.get

Retrieves a Keras loss as a function/Loss class instance.

tf.keras.losses.get( identifier )

The identifier may be the string name of a loss function or Loss class.

loss = losses.get("categorical_crossentropy") type(loss) <class 'function'> loss = losses.get("CategoricalCrossentropy") type(loss) <class '...CategoricalCrossentropy'>

You can also specify config of the loss to this function by passing dict containing class_name and config as an identifier. Also note that the class_name must map to a Loss class

identifier = {"class_name": "CategoricalCrossentropy",  "config": {"from_logits": True} } loss = losses.get(identifier) type(loss) <class '...CategoricalCrossentropy'>

identifier A loss identifier. One of None or string name of a loss function/class or loss configuration dictionary or a loss function or a loss class instance.

A Keras loss as a function/ Loss class instance.
