torch_concepts.nn.BaseConceptLayer

class BaseConceptLayer(out_features: int, in_features_endogenous: int | None = None, in_features: int | None = None, in_features_exogenous: int | None = None, *args, **kwargs)

Abstract base class for concept layers.

This class provides the foundation for all concept-based layers, defining the interface and basic structure for concept encoders and predictors.

in_features_endogenous

Number of input logit features.

Type:

int

in_features

Number of input latent features.

Type:

int

in_features_exogenous

Number of exogenous input features.

Type:

int

out_features

Number of output features.

Type:

int

Parameters:

• out_features – Number of output features.

• in_features_endogenous – Number of input logit features (optional).

• in_features – Number of input latent features (optional).

• in_features_exogenous – Number of exogenous input features (optional).

Example

>>> import torch
>>> from torch_concepts.nn import BaseConceptLayer
>>>
>>> # Create a custom concept layer
>>> class MyConceptLayer(BaseConceptLayer):
...     def __init__(self, out_features, in_features_endogenous):
...         super().__init__(
...             out_features=out_features,
...             in_features_endogenous=in_features_endogenous
...         )
...         self.linear = torch.nn.Linear(in_features_endogenous, out_features)
...
...     def forward(self, endogenous):
...         return torch.sigmoid(self.linear(endogenous))
>>>
>>> # Example usage
>>> layer = MyConceptLayer(out_features=5, in_features_endogenous=10)
>>>
>>> # Generate random input
>>> endogenous = torch.randn(2, 10)  # batch_size=2, in_features=10
>>>
>>> # Forward pass
>>> output = layer(endogenous)
>>> print(output.shape)  # torch.Size([2, 5])
