torch_concepts.nn.LinearZC

class LinearZC(in_features: int, out_features: int, *args, **kwargs)

Encoder that predicts concept activations from latent.

This encoder transforms input latent into concept endogenous using a linear layer. It’s typically used as the first layer in concept bottleneck models to extract concepts from neural network input.

in_features

Number of input latent features.

Type:

int

out_features

Number of output concept features.

Type:

int

encoder

The encoding network.

Type:

nn.Sequential

Parameters:

• in_features – Number of input latent features.

• out_features – Number of output concept features.

• *args – Additional arguments for torch.nn.Linear.

• **kwargs – Additional keyword arguments for torch.nn.Linear.

Example

>>> import torch
>>> from torch_concepts.nn import LinearZC
>>>
>>> # Create encoder
>>> encoder = LinearZC(
...     in_features=128,
...     out_features=10
... )
>>>
>>> # Forward pass with latent from a neural network
>>> latent = torch.randn(4, 128)  # batch_size=4, latent_dim=128
>>> concept_endogenous = encoder(latent)
>>> print(concept_endogenous.shape)
torch.Size([4, 10])
>>>
>>> # Apply sigmoid to get probabilities
>>> concept_probs = torch.sigmoid(concept_endogenous)
>>> print(concept_probs.shape)
torch.Size([4, 10])
