Addons: Request for example: Focal Loss

[seanpmorgan]

It would be nice to have an example for how to use focal loss in an object detection pipeline.

Would like to work on this

Not exactly object detection but as this one is a binary classification problem, so the same concept applies here. Check this out: https://www.kaggle.com/aakashnain/diving-deep-into-focal-loss

Thanks @AakashKumarNain

[AakashKumarNain]

You are welcome @SSaishruthi . I wanted to add an example when I submitted the PR for focal loss but for putting object detection as an example with focal loss requires a little verbose example with many moving parts, so I parked it for later at that point in time

[SSaishruthi]

I have a placeholder example PR for this. Will keep experimenting with different use cases. Thanks for the input

@seanpmorgan It could be also nice f the Tensorflow google team will start to contribute a little bit in Tensorflow addons repo instead of accumulate single person/small team code snippets in the new just announced Model Garden or in the Google research repos.
See i.e. https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/official/vision/detection/modeling/losses.py#L25.
I don't know if we could open a general issue about this topic cause I've mentioned the same things on other tickets.
