answer is here: compute top1, top5 error using pytorch · GitHub
with detailed explanation:
def accuracy(output: torch.Tensor, target: torch.Tensor, topk=(1,)) -> List[torch.FloatTensor]:
"""
Computes the accuracy over the k top predictions for the specified values of k
In top-5 accuracy you give yourself credit for having the right answer
if the right answer appears in your top five guesses.

:param output: output is the prediction of the model e.g. scores, logits, raw y_pred before normalization or getting classes
:param target: target is the truth
:param topk: tuple of topk's to compute e.g. (1, 2, 5) computes top 1, top 2 and top 5.
e.g. in top 2 it means you get a +1 if your models's top 2 predictions are in the right label.
So if your model predicts cat, dog (0, 1) and the true label was bird (3) you get zero
but if it were either cat or dog you'd accumulate +1 for that example.
