Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for training a machine-trained (MT) network that processes input data using network parameters. The method maps a set of input instances to a set of output values by propagating the set of input instances through the MT network. The set of input instances include input instances for each of multiple categories. The method selects multiple input instances as anchor instances. For each anchor instance, the method computes a loss function as a comparison between the output value for the anchor instance and each output value for an input instance in a different category than the anchor. The method computes a total loss function for the MT network as a sum of the loss function computed for each anchor instance. The method trains the network parameters using the computed total loss function.
