GHM-C is a loss function designed to balance the gradient flow for anchor classification. The GHM first performs statistics on the number of examples with similar attributes w.r.t their gradient density and then attaches a harmonizing parameter to the gradient of each example according to the density. The modification of gradient can be equivalently implemented by reformulating the loss function. Embedding the GHM into the classification loss is denoted as GHM-C loss. Since the gradient density is a statistical variable depending on the examples distribution in a mini-batch, GHM-C is a dynamic loss that can adapt to the change of data distribution in each batch as well as to the updating of the model.

Papers per year tagged with GHM-C: 2018 to 2018, peak 1 1 0 2018: 1 paper 2018
Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (1 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
