The library provides primitives for layers (encoders, predictors, special layers), probabilistic models, and APIs for running experiments at scale.

The name of the library stands for both
- **PyTorch Concepts**: as concepts are essential building blocks for interpretable deep learning.
- $P(y|C)$: as the main purpose of the library is to support sound probabilistic modeling of the conditional distribution of targets $y$ given concepts $C$.

# Quick Start

You can install <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyc-team/pytorch_concepts/refs/heads/master/doc/_static/img/logos/pyc.svg" width="20px"> PyC with core dependencies from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/pytorch-concepts/):

```bash
pip install pytorch-concepts
```

After installation, you can import it in your Python scripts as:

```python
import torch_concepts as pyc
```

Follow our [user guide](https://pytorch-concepts.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/using.html) to get started with building interpretable models using <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyc-team/pytorch_concepts/refs/heads/master/doc/_static/img/logos/pyc.svg" width="20px"> PyC!

The library is organized to be modular and accessible at different levels of abstraction:
- <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyc-team/pytorch_concepts/refs/heads/master/doc/_static/img/logos/conceptarium.svg" width="20px" align="center"> **Conceptarium (No-code API). Use case: applications and benchmarking.** These APIs allow to easily run large-scale highly parallelized and standardized experiments by interfacing with configuration files. Built on top of <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyc-team/pytorch_concepts/refs/heads/master/doc/_static/img/logos/hydra-head.svg" width="20px" align="center"> Hydra and <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyc-team/pytorch_concepts/refs/heads/master/doc/_static/img/logos/wandb.svg" width="20px" align="center"> WandB.
- **High-level APIs. Use case: use out-of-the-box state-of-the-art models.** These APIs allow to instantiate use implemented models with 1 line of code. This interface is built in <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyc-team/pytorch_concepts/refs/heads/master/doc/_static/img/logos/lightning.svg" width="20px" align="center"> Pytorch Lightning to easily standardize training and evaluation.
- **Mid-level APIs. Use case: build custom interpretable and causally transparent probabilistic graphical models.** These APIs allow to build new interpretable probabilistic models and run efficient tensorial probabilistic inference.
- **Low-level APIs. Use case: assemble custom interpretable architectures.** These APIs allow to build architectures from basic interpretable layers in a plain <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyc-team/pytorch_concepts/refs/heads/master/doc/_static/img/logos/pytorch.svg" width="20px" align="center"> PyTorch-like interface. These APIs also include metrics, losses, and datasets.
