Different Way to implement Triplet loss

[deep0learning]

Hi, Can you please explain the way you implement triplet loss a little bit. I implement triplet loss like that. But I do not understand your implementation. `class TripletLoss(nn.Module): """ Triplet loss Takes embeddings of an anchor sample, a positive sample and a negative sample """

def __init__(self, margin):
    super(TripletLoss, self).__init__()
    self.margin = margin

def forward(self, anchor, positive, negative, size_average=True):
    distance_positive = (anchor - positive).pow(2).sum(1)  # .pow(.5)
    distance_negative = (anchor - negative).pow(2).sum(1)  # .pow(.5)
    losses = F.relu(distance_positive - distance_negative + self.margin)
    return losses.mean() if size_average else losses.sum()

@deep0learning Actually it's calculating the squared distance between anchors and negative or positives and choosing pairs following hard-batch triplet rule.

you can create fake inputs and targets and play with the code, then you'll figure it out.
