Focalloss类继承自nn.Module类,主要包括以下函数：

(1) __init__(): 初始化函数,主要包括gamma, alpha等参数;

(2) forward(): 通过调用sigmoid_focal_loss()计算loss.

sigmoid_focal_loss()函数的主要参数包括：

(1) pred,预测值,是一个(N, C)的tensor,其中N是样本数量,C是类别数量;

(2) target,目标值,是一个(N)的tensor;

(3) weight,每一个样本的权重,是一个(N)的tensor.

sigmoid_focal_loss()函数通过调用_sigmoid_focal_loss(),得到一个(N, C)的tensor,然后再通过weight_reduce_loss()函数变成一个(C)的tensor并返回.
