chainer.functions.squared_error(x0, x1)

Squared error function.

This function computes the squared error between two variables:

\[(x_0 - x_1)^2\]

where operation is done in elementwise manner. Note that the error is not scaled by 1/2:

Parameters:

• x0 (Variable or numpy.ndarray or cupy.ndarray) – Input variable.
• x1 (Variable or numpy.ndarray or cupy.ndarray) – Input variable.

Returns:

A variable holding an array representing the squared error of two inputs.

Return type:

Variable
