Understanding Image Classification with PyTorch: Converting Logits to Percentage Probabilities

When working on image classification tasks in machine learning, one common challenge is interpreting the model's output. If you've trained a custom VGG model using the CIFAR10 dataset and tested it using images from the dataset, you may find yourself with a list of logits for each category. In this guide, we'll explore how to convert those logits into more interpretable percentage probabilities, making it easier to understand what your model is predicting.

The Challenge: What are Logits?

After running predictions through your model, you receive outputs called logits. These values represent the raw scores for each class but don’t directly provide probabilities. In our example, the model’s output might look like this:

While you can identify that "dog" seems to be the most likely class, understanding how strong that prediction is requires transforming these logits into probabilities that sum to 100%.

The Solution: Applying Softmax

To convert logits to probabilities, we need to apply the softmax function. This function will normalize the logits, ensuring the output values lie between 0 and 1, and they sum up to 1 (or 100% when multiplied).

Steps to Calculate Probabilities

Understand the Softmax Function: It applies an exponentiation and normalization process to each logit.

A basic implementation in Python can be seen below.

This will give you a nicely formatted output of classification probabilities.

Alternative Approach Using SciPy

If you prefer a built-in function, you can utilize the softmax function available in scipy, which simplifies the process:

This code snippet will also yield the probabilities directly.

Conclusion

By applying the softmax function to your model's logits in PyTorch, you can easily convert raw scores into understandable percentage probabilities. This process not only enhances the interpretability of the model’s predictions but can also aid in making more informed decisions based on the output.

If you're looking to build a robust machine learning application, keep this conversion technique in your toolkit! It’s a powerful way to better understand the strengths of your predictions in tasks such as image classification with frameworks like PyTorch.

Remember, the next time you have your model's predictions, think about how you can enrich your analysis by converting those logits into meaningful percentages!
