Why is this a logistic regression network?

Could someone break down for me what this Net is? Not sure how this constitutes a logistic regression network:

class Net(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Net, self).__init__()
        self.fc1   = nn.Linear(3*65536, n_classes, bias=True)

    def forward(self, x):
        x = self.fc1(x.view(x.size()[0],3*65536))
        return x

Thanks

Well, with a square loss, it’s a very brave linear regression:

If Y is your target, you want to minimize Loss( Net(X) - Y ) = ( Net(X) - Y )^2
with Net(X) = X.W + b

Then, if you add a rectifier unit to your model, and, more particularly a sigmoid:

 class Net(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Net, self).__init__()
        self.fc1   = nn.Linear(3*65536, n_classes, bias=True)

    def forward(self, x):
        x = self.fc1(x.view(x.size()[0],3*65536))
        return F.sigmoid(x)

In that case you are much more on a logistic regression, since you forces your outputs to be 1 if it passes, 0 otherwise. Then, you minimize the mismatch between categorical values 0 and 1 of output and targets. This is a typical logistic regression.
