Discriminative Sample Aware Loss Function

Discriminative sample-aware loss functions aim to improve the performance of machine learning models by focusing on the relationships between data samples and their class labels. Current research explores their application across various tasks, including few-shot learning, recommender systems, and person re-identification, often integrating them with existing architectures like convolutional neural networks and transformers. These loss functions enhance model discriminability by explicitly considering intra- and inter-class variances, leading to improved classification accuracy, uncertainty estimation, and robustness to out-of-distribution data, ultimately advancing the capabilities of various machine learning applications.
