torch_concepts.nn.BaseInference

class BaseInference

Abstract base class for inference modules.

Inference modules define how to query concept-based models to obtain concept predictions, supporting various inference strategies such as forward inference, ancestral sampling, or stochastic inference.

Example

>>> import torch
>>> from torch_concepts.nn import BaseInference
>>>
>>> # Create a custom inference class
>>> class SimpleInference(BaseInference):
...     def __init__(self, model):
...         super().__init__()
...         self.model = model
...
...     def query(self, x, **kwargs):
...         # Simple forward pass through model
...         return self.model(x)
>>>
>>> # Example usage
>>> dummy_model = torch.nn.Linear(10, 5)
>>> inference = SimpleInference(dummy_model)
>>>
>>> # Generate random input
>>> x = torch.randn(2, 10)  # batch_size=2, input_features=10
>>>
>>> # Query concepts using forward method
>>> concepts = inference(x)
>>> print(concepts.shape)  # torch.Size([2, 5])
>>>
>>> # Or use query method directly
>>> concepts = inference.query(x)
>>> print(concepts.shape)  # torch.Size([2, 5])
