Fix multi-target MLJFlux example

[mohamed82008]

Hi! Thanks for this really cool package. I noticed the multi-target MLJ example in this PR is not working because of an eltype error in measurements vector which triggers an error when the report is generated. I "fixed" it here in this PR and added a test but I am not sure if I was doing something wrong to begin with to trigger this error or not as I am still a novice in MLJ. Please let me know if my example is wrong for some reason or if the fix here is appropriate.

Turns out I messed up the definition of the multi-target loss. So this PR is not necessary at all.

@mohamed82008 Thanks for spending time with this packages and going to the trouble of contributing a PR.

I wonder if your confusion might be something others will also trip up on. If you can say a few words about what the confusion was, I will open an issue to address this in future doc fixes.

The problem is that most loss functions don't support multiple targets by default so when using multi-target regression from MLJFlux, I have to either use their built-in losses or roll my own implementation which I did to be able to try out more loss functions, e.g. from LossFunctions.jl. The problem is that the implementation of the multi_target function used in the tests in this PR was wrong so it was returning a vector sometimes. Somehow this didn't break the optimisation but it broke the report making. The following implementation made things work:

function multi_target(loss)
  function _loss(x1::Real, x2::Real)
    return loss(x1, x2)
  end
  function _loss(x1, x2::NamedTuple)
    sum(map(x1, x2) do _x1, _x2
        sum(loss(_x1, _x2))
    end)
  end
  function _loss(x1::Matrix, x2::Matrix)
    sum(loss(vec(x1), vec(x2)))
  end
  return _loss
end

Perhaps my life would have been easier if this vector-output behaviour was detected and reported way before the report generation, e.g. when building the history array. Also, the above function can be defined and documented to give people a way to change single-target loss functions to multi-target ones.

Thanks for this explanation. It seems weird that the flawed custom loss did not break the optimization. I think that is worth investigating. I will open an issue.

Yes, adding wrappers for multi-target losses is on the list: JuliaAI/MLJBase.jl#502
