## ⚠️ 关键理解

              Dice Loss vs Dice Coefficient
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Dice Loss (训练中显示的指标):
  - 这是损失函数
  - 越低越好 ✅ (like all losses)
  - 数值范围: 0-1
  
Dice Coefficient (评估指标):
  - 这是相似度/IoU指标
  - 越高越好 ✅
  - 数值范围: 0-1

关系:
  Dice Loss = 1 - Dice Coefficient

## 📊 您看到的数值解释

### Divider性能变化

```
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

指标: Divider Dice Loss

Epoch 5基线:   0.525
Epoch 20预期:  0.420
变化:          -0.105 (降低了20%)

解释:
  ✅ Dice Loss降低 = 性能变好！
  ✅ 这是我们的目标
  ✅ -20%意味着改善20%

════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

转换为Dice Coefficient (相似度):

Epoch 5:   Dice Coef = 1 - 0.525 = 0.475 (47.5%相似度)
Epoch 20:  Dice Coef = 1 - 0.420 = 0.580 (58.0%相似度)

改善:     0.580 - 0.475 = 0.105
         提升: 22% (相对提升)

## 💡 记忆规则

```
训练日志中的指标:

✅ Loss类指标 (Dice Loss, Focal Loss, Heatmap Loss...):
   → 越低越好
   → 下降是改善
   → 负百分比是进步

✅ IoU类指标 (matched_ious):
   → 越高越好
   → 上升是改善
   → 正百分比是进步

✅ mAP, mIoU (评估时):
   → 越高越好
   → 上升是改善
```

## ✅ 总结

```
问题: Divider Dice 0.525 → 0.420 是变差了吗？

答案: ❌ 不是！这是变好了！✅✅✅

原因:
  - Dice Loss 是损失函数
  - 损失降低 = 性能提升
  - 0.525 → 0.420 降低了20%
  - 这意味着预测更准确了！

类比:
  - 就像错误率从52.5%降到42%
  - 或者考试错题从52.5道减少到42道
  - 当然是变好了！

Dice Coefficient视角:
  - 从47.5%相似度提升到58.0%相似度
  - 提升了22%
  - 这样更直观理解
