jefferys_divergence

jefferys_divergence(noisy_logits: Tensor, clean_logits: Tensor, attention_mask: Tensor, support_mask: Tensor | None = None, reduction: Literal['mean', 'none'] = 'mean') -> <class 'torch.Tensor'>

Compute the Jefferys divergence between two discrete probabilities using logits.

Note

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-divergence#Common_examples_of_f-divergences for the implementation formula.

Note

If support_mask has non-zero elements then the divergence is taken from a masking of the original-distributions, making it no longer a divergence of true distributions.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
noisy_logits	Tensor	The logits produced from SGT data.	required
clean_logits	Tensor	The logits produced from data without the SGT.	required
attention_mask	Tensor	The attention mask for the batch.	required
support_mask	Tensor | None	The mask placed on both noisy and clean logits. Useful for comparing top-k logits.	None
reduction	Literal['mean', 'none']	Specifies how to reduce across the batch dimension after computing the per-sequence masked mean.	'mean'

Returns:

Type	Description
<class 'torch.Tensor'>	The Jefferys divergence between the noisy and clean logits, independently averaged over the batch and sequence lengths.

Added in version v3.37.0.

jensen_shannon_divergence

jensen_shannon_divergence(noisy_logits: Tensor, clean_logits: Tensor, attention_mask: Tensor, support_mask: Tensor | None = None, reduction: Literal['mean', 'none'] = 'mean') -> <class 'torch.Tensor'>

Compute the Jensen Shannon divergence between two discrete probabilities using logits.

Note

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-divergence#Common_examples_of_f-divergences for the implementation formula.

Note

If support_mask has non-zero elements then the divergence is taken from a masking of the original-distributions, making it no longer a divergence of true distributions.

Note

This implementation has numerical stability issues due to the use of softmax to the mixed probabilities.

Compute an unbiased approximation to the distance correlation between the tensors, representing samples of random variables.

Note

The approximation assumes the last last tensorial dimension is the random vector, and all preceding dimensions represent the different observations. In the case of text, this corresponds to a token level distance correlation calculation.

Note

The tensors must have the same number of rows, representing the number of samples.

samples_1	Tensor	The first tensor of samples.	required
