# MCLoss

### *class* deepinv.loss.MCLoss(metric=None)

Bases: [`Loss`](https://deepinv.org/api/stubs/deepinv.loss.Loss.html.md#deepinv.loss.Loss)

Measurement consistency loss

This loss enforces that the reconstructions are measurement-consistent, i.e., $y=\forw{\inverse{y}}$.

The measurement consistency loss is defined as

$$
\|y-\forw{\inverse{y}}\|^2
$$

where $\inverse{y}$ is the reconstructed signal and $A$ is a forward operator.

By default, the error is computed using the MSE metric, however any other metric (e.g., $\ell_1$)
can be used as well.

* **Parameters:**
  **metric** ([*Metric*](https://deepinv.org/api/stubs/deepinv.loss.metric.Metric.html.md#deepinv.loss.metric.Metric) *,* [*torch.nn.Module*](https://docs.pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.Module.html#torch.nn.Module)) – metric used for computing data consistency, which is set as the mean squared error by default.

#### forward(y, x_net, physics, \*\*kwargs)

Computes the measurement splitting loss

* **Parameters:**
  * **y** ([*torch.Tensor*](https://docs.pytorch.org/docs/stable/tensors.html#torch.Tensor)) – measurements.
  * **x_net** ([*torch.Tensor*](https://docs.pytorch.org/docs/stable/tensors.html#torch.Tensor)) – reconstructed image $\inverse{y}$.
  * **physics** ([*deepinv.physics.Physics*](https://deepinv.org/api/stubs/deepinv.physics.Physics.html.md#deepinv.physics.Physics)) – forward operator associated with the measurements.
* **Returns:**
  ([`torch.Tensor`](https://docs.pytorch.org/docs/stable/tensors.html#torch.Tensor)) loss.

#### *property* name *: [bool](https://docs.python.org/3.12/library/functions.html#bool)*

The name of the loss function. This attribute is deprecated in favor of the class name and it will be removed in a future version.
