Description
The
forward
method of theContrastiveLoss
performs L2-normalization before computing cosine similarity. Thetorch.nn.functional.cosine_similarity
method already handles this pre-processing to make sure thatinput
andtarget
lie on the surface of the unit hypersphere. This step involves an unnecessary cost and, thus, can be removed.Types of changes
