TorchCP is a Python toolbox for conformal prediction research on deep learning models, built on the PyTorch Library with
strong GPU acceleration. In the toolbox, we implement representative methods (including posthoc and training methods)
for many tasks of conformal prediction, including: Classification, Regression, Graph Neural Networks, and LLM. We
for many tasks of conformal prediction, including: Classification, Regression, Graph Neural Networks, and LLM. We
build the basic framework of TorchCP based on [`AdverTorch`](https://github.com/BorealisAI/advertorch/tree/master). This
codebase is still under construction and maintained by [`Hongxin Wei`](https://hongxin001.github.io/)'s research group
at SUSTech. Comments, issues, contributions, and collaborations are all welcomed!

## Updates of New Version (1.2.x)

This release enhances functionality by introducing p-value computation, conformal predictive distributions, and expanding the NORABS score function with additional difficulty estimation methods.
Detailed changelog can be found in the [Documentation](https://torchcp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/CHANGELOG.html).

# Overview

TorchCP has implemented the following methods:

## TODO

TorchCP is still under active development. We will add the following features/items down the road:

## Installation

TorchCP is developed with Python 3.10 and fully compatible with the latest versions of PyTorch. Users should install PyTorch before proceeding with the TorchCP installation (please refer to the [official PyTorch installation guide](https://pytorch.org/get-started/previous-versions/)). Once PyTorch is set up, you can install TorchCP with the command
```
pip install torchcp
```


## Unit Test

TorchCP achieves 100% unit test coverage. You can use the following command to test the code implementation:

```
pytest --cov=torchcp tests
```

## Examples

Here, we provide a simple example for a classification task, with LAC score and SplitPredictor.

```python
from torchcp.classification.score import LAC
from torchcp.classification.predictor import SplitPredictor

# Preparing a calibration data and a test data.
cal_dataloader = ...
test_dataloader = ...
# Preparing a pytorch model
model = ...

model.eval()

# Options of score function: LAC, APS, SAPS, RAPS
# Define a conformal prediction algorithm. Optional: SplitPredictor, ClusteredPredictor, ClassConditionalPredictor
# We recommend setting both alpha and device during initialization
device = torch.device("cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
predictor = SplitPredictor(score_function=LAC(), model=model, alpha=0.1, device = device)

# Calibrating the predictor 
# You can also call `calibrate()` again to update the alpha value if needed
#predictor.calibrate(cal_dataloader, alpha=0.1)
predictor.calibrate(cal_dataloader)

#########################################
# Predicting for test instances
########################################
test_instances = ...
predict_sets = predictor.predict(test_instances)
print(predict_sets)

#########################################
# Evaluating the coverage rate and average set size on a given dataset.
########################################
result_dict = predictor.evaluate(test_dataloader)
print(f"Coverage Rate: {result_dict['coverage_rate']:.4f}")
print(f"Average Set Size: {result_dict['average_size']:.4f}")

```
