语境
假设我们有一些一维数据（例如时间序列），其中所有序列都有固定长度l：
# [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11] index
example = [ 0, 1, 1, 0, 23, 22, 20, 14, 9, 2, 0, 0] # l = 12
我们要执行语义分割，有n个类：
# [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11] index
labeled = [
[ 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], # class 1
[ 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0], # class 2
[ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0], # class 3
#[ ... ],
[ 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1], # class n
]
那么单个示例的输出具有 shape [n, l]（即data_formatis not "channels_last"）并且批处理输出具有 shape [b, n, l]，其中b是批处理中示例的数量。
这些类是独立的，所以我的理解是使用sigmoid交叉熵在这里适用于损失而不是 softmax 交叉熵。
问题
关于预期格式和使用，我有一些相关的小问题tf.nn.sigmoid_cross_entropy_with_logits：
由于网络输出的张量与批处理标签的形状相同，我应该在输出 logits 的假设下训练网络，还是采用 keras 方法（参见 keras 的
binary_crossentropy）并假设它输出概率？鉴于一维分割问题，我应该呼吁
tf.nn.sigmoid_cross_entropy_with_logits：data_format='channels_first'（如上图），或data_format='channels_last'（例如.T）
如果我想为每个频道单独分配标签？
传递给优化器的损失操作应该是：
tf.nn.sigmoid_cross_entropy_with_logits(labels, logits),tf.reduce_mean(tf.nn.sigmoid_cross_entropy_with_logits(labels, logits))， 或者tf.losses.sigmoid_cross_entropy?
代码
这个Colab突出了我的困惑，并证明了这data_format确实很重要......，但文档没有明确说明预期的内容。
