Hi Deep!
In short, there is no direct equivalent, so you have to write your own.
A quick glance at the tensorflow documentation suggests that
tf.losses.softmax_cross_entropy() has been deprecated
in favor of tf.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits(),
but that both of these take labels of shape [nBatch, nClass]
that are probabilities (sometimes called “soft labels”).
In contrast, pytorch’s torch.nn.CrossEntropyLoss (or its function
version torch.nn.functional.cross_entropy()) takes integer
class labels of shape [nBatch].
(Both the tensorflow and pytorch versions take logits, rather than
probabilities, for the predictions you pass is, so that part’s the same.)
If your problem uses, in fact, integer class labels, just use pytorch’s
CrossEntropyLoss. But if your labels are probabilities, then you
can write your own “soft-label” version, as described here:
Good luck.
