Hi, I’m a new learner and trying to implement a NLLLoss using Numpy. Now for an input tensor of size (minibatch,C) it’s quite simple, I can achieve it either by first converting target tensor to one hot encoding matrix or simply use indexing.
However, when input tensor is (minibatch,C,d1​,d2​,…,dK​) for the K-dimensional case, converting target to one-hot encoder seems not memory efficient.
So I’d like to ask how does NLLLoss achieve this? is target tensor firstly converted to one hot encoder tensor, then element wise multiplies with input tensor, then sums over axis C (class axis), Or simply use some sort of advanced indexing to save memory? Thanks for any help!
