MAPIE - Model Agnostic Prediction Interval Estimator

MAPIE is an open-source Python library for quantifying uncertainties and controlling the risks of machine learning models. It is a scikit-learn-contrib project that allows you to:

  • Easily compute conformal prediction intervals (or prediction sets) with controlled (or guaranteed) marginal coverage rate for regression [3,4,8], classification (binary and multi-class) [5-7] and time series [9].

  • Easily control risks of more complex tasks such as multi-label classification, semantic segmentation in computer vision (probabilistic guarantees on recall, precision, …) [10-12].

  • Easily wrap any model (scikit-learn, tensorflow, pytorch, …) with, if needed, a scikit-learn-compatible wrapper for the purposes just mentioned.

Here’s a quick instantiation of MAPIE models for regression and classification problems related to uncertainty quantification (more details in the Quickstart section):

# Uncertainty quantification for regression problem
from mapie.regression import MapieRegressor
mapie_regressor = MapieRegressor(estimator=regressor, method='plus', cv=5)
# Uncertainty quantification for classification problem
from mapie.classification import MapieClassifier
mapie_classifier = MapieClassifier(estimator=classifier, method='score', cv=5)

Implemented methods in MAPIE respect three fundamental pillars:

  • They are model and use case agnostic,

  • They possess theoretical guarantees under minimal assumptions on the data and the model,

  • They are based on peer-reviewed algorithms and respect programming standards.

MAPIE relies notably on the field of Conformal Prediction and Distribution-Free Inference.

🔗 Requirements

  • MAPIE runs on Python 3.7+.

  • MAPIE stands on the shoulders of giants. Its only internal dependencies are scikit-learn and numpy=>1.21.

🛠 Installation

MAPIE can be installed in different ways:

$ pip install mapie  # installation via `pip`
$ conda install -c conda-forge mapie  # or via `conda`
$ pip install git+https://github.com/scikit-learn-contrib/MAPIE  # or directly from the github repository

⚡ Quickstart

Here we propose two basic uncertainty quantification problems for regression and classification tasks with scikit-learn.

As MAPIE is compatible with the standard scikit-learn API, you can see that with just these few lines of code:

  • How easy it is to wrap your favorite scikit-learn-compatible model around your model.

  • How easy it is to follow the standard sequential fit and predict process like any scikit-learn estimator.

# Uncertainty quantification for regression problem
import numpy as np
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
from sklearn.datasets import make_regression
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

from mapie.regression import MapieRegressor


X, y = make_regression(n_samples=500, n_features=1)
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.5)

regressor = LinearRegression()

mapie_regressor = MapieRegressor(estimator=regressor, method='plus', cv=5)

mapie_regressor = mapie_regressor.fit(X_train, y_train)
y_pred, y_pis = mapie_regressor.predict(X_test, alpha=[0.05, 0.32])
# Uncertainty quantification for classification problem
import numpy as np
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.datasets import make_blobs
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

from mapie.classification import MapieClassifier


X, y = make_blobs(n_samples=500, n_features=2, centers=3)
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.5)

classifier = LogisticRegression()

mapie_classifier = MapieClassifier(estimator=classifier, method='score', cv=5)

mapie_classifier = mapie_classifier.fit(X_train, y_train)
y_pred, y_pis = mapie_classifier.predict(X_test, alpha=[0.05, 0.32])
