Additive angular-margin softmax loss
Adds a fixed margin directly to the target-class angle before taking its cosine (cos(theta+m)), rather than multiplying the angle by an integer factor - giving a constant linear angular margin (exact correspondence to geodesic distance on the hypersphere) instead of the nonlinear margin produced by multiplicative or additive-cosine variants.
