:calendar: Updates

• 2022/7: LibAUC 1.2.0 is released! In this version, we've included more losses and optimizers as well as made some performance improvements. Please check release note for more details! Thanks!

:mag: What is X-Risk?

X-risk refers to a family of compositional measures/losses, in which each data point is compared with a set of data points explicitly or implicitly for defining a risk function. It covers a family of widely used measures/losses including but not limited to the following four interconnected categories:

• Areas under the curves, including areas under ROC curves (AUROC), areas under Precision-Recall curves (AUPRC), one-way and two-wary partial areas under ROC curves.
• Ranking measures/objectives, including p-norm push for bipartite ranking, listwise losses for learning to rank (e.g., listNet), mean average precision (mAP), normalized discounted cumulative gain (NDCG), etc.
• Performance at the top, including top push, top-K variants of mAP and NDCG, Recall at top K positions (Rec@K), Precision at a certain Recall level (Prec@Rec), etc.
• Contrastive objectives, including supervised contrastive objectives (e.g., NCA), and global self-supervised contrastive objectives improving upon SimCLR and CLIP.

:star: Key Features

• Easy Installation - Easy to install and insert LibAUC code into existing training pipeline with Deep Learning frameworks like PyTorch.
• Broad Applications - Users can learn different neural network structures (e.g., MLP, CNN, GNN, transformer, etc) that support their data types.
• Efficient Algorithms - Stochastic algorithms with provable theoretical convergence that support learning with millions of data points without larger batch size.
• Hands-on Tutorials - Hands-on tutorials are provided for optimizing a variety of measures and objectives belonging to the family of X-risks.

:gear: Installation

$ pip install libauc==1.2.0

The latest version 1.2.0 is available now! You can check release note for more details. Source code is available for download here.

:clipboard: Usage

Example training pipline for optimizing X-risk (e.g., AUROC)

>>> #import our loss and optimizer
>>> from libauc.losses import AUCMLoss 
>>> from libauc.optimizers import PESG 
...
>>> #define loss & optimizer
>>> Loss = AUCMLoss()
>>> optimizer = PESG()
...
>>> #training
>>> model.train()    
>>> for data, targets in trainloader:
>>>	data, targets  = data.cuda(), targets.cuda()
        logits = model(data)
	preds = torch.sigmoid(logits)
        loss = Loss(preds, targets) 
        optimizer.zero_grad()
        loss.backward()
        optimizer.step()
...	
>>> #update internal parameters
>>> optimizer.update_regularizer()
