Pytorch: Weighting in BCEWithLogitsLoss, but with 'weight' instead of 'pos_weight'
I'm looking how to do class weighting using BCEWithLogitsLoss.
https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.BCEWithLogitsLoss.html
The example on how to use pos_weight seems clear to me. If there are 3x more negative samples than positive samples, then you can set pos_weight=3
Does the weight parameter do the same thing?
Say that I set it weight=torch.tensor([1, 3]). Is that the same thing as pos_weight=3
Also, is weight normalized? Is weight=torch.tensor([1, 3]) the same as weight=torch.tensor([3, 9]), or are they different in how they affect the magnitude of the loss?

They are different things. pos_weight is size n_classes. weight is size batch_size. In the formula in the page you linked, weight refers to the w_n variable, whereas pos_weight refers to the p_c variable.
