AUROC

Module Interface

class torchmetrics.AUROC(**kwargs)

Compute Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC AUC).

The AUROC score summarizes the ROC curve into an single number that describes the performance of a model for multiple thresholds at the same time. Notably, an AUROC score of 1 is a perfect score and an AUROC score of 0.5 corresponds to random guessing.

This module is a simple wrapper to get the task specific versions of this metric, which is done by setting the task argument to either 'binary', 'multiclass' or multilabel. See the documentation of BinaryAUROC, MulticlassAUROC and MultilabelAUROC for the specific details of each argument influence and examples.

Legacy Example:

>>> from torch import tensor
>>> preds = tensor([0.13, 0.26, 0.08, 0.19, 0.34])
>>> target = tensor([0, 0, 1, 1, 1])
>>> auroc = AUROC(task="binary")
>>> auroc(preds, target)
tensor(0.5000)

>>> preds = tensor([[0.90, 0.05, 0.05],
...                       [0.05, 0.90, 0.05],
...                       [0.05, 0.05, 0.90],
...                       [0.85, 0.05, 0.10],
...                       [0.10, 0.10, 0.80]])
>>> target = tensor([0, 1, 1, 2, 2])
>>> auroc = AUROC(task="multiclass", num_classes=3)
>>> auroc(preds, target)
tensor(0.7778)

BinaryAUROC

class torchmetrics.classification.BinaryAUROC(max_fpr=None, thresholds=None, ignore_index=None, validate_args=True, **kwargs)

Compute Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC AUC) for binary tasks.

The AUROC score summarizes the ROC curve into an single number that describes the performance of a model for multiple thresholds at the same time. Notably, an AUROC score of 1 is a perfect score and an AUROC score of 0.5 corresponds to random guessing.

As input to forward and update the metric accepts the following input:

• preds (Tensor): A float tensor of shape (N, ...) containing probabilities or logits for each observation. If preds has values outside [0,1] range we consider the input to be logits and will auto apply sigmoid per element.

• target (Tensor): An int tensor of shape (N, ...) containing ground truth labels, and therefore only contain {0,1} values (except if ignore_index is specified). The value 1 always encodes the positive class.

As output to forward and compute the metric returns the following output:

• b_auroc (Tensor): A single scalar with the auroc score.

Additional dimension ... will be flattened into the batch dimension.

The implementation both supports calculating the metric in a non-binned but accurate version and a binned version that is less accurate but more memory efficient. Setting the thresholds argument to None will activate the non-binned version that uses memory of size \(\mathcal{O}(n_{samples})\) whereas setting the thresholds argument to either an integer, list or a 1d tensor will use a binned version that uses memory of size \(\mathcal{O}(n_{thresholds})\) (constant memory).

Parameters:

• max_fpr (Optional[float]) – If not None, calculates standardized partial AUC over the range [0, max_fpr].

• thresholds (Union[int, List[float], Tensor, None]) –

  Can be one of:

  • If set to None, will use a non-binned approach where thresholds are dynamically calculated from all the data. Most accurate but also most memory consuming approach.

  • If set to an int (larger than 1), will use that number of thresholds linearly spaced from 0 to 1 as bins for the calculation.

  • If set to an list of floats, will use the indicated thresholds in the list as bins for the calculation

  • If set to an 1d tensor of floats, will use the indicated thresholds in the tensor as bins for the calculation.

• validate_args (bool) – bool indicating if input arguments and tensors should be validated for correctness. Set to False for faster computations.

• kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments, see Advanced metric settings for more info.

>>> from torch import tensor
>>> from torchmetrics.classification import BinaryAUROC

>>> metric(preds, target)
tensor(0.5000)

MulticlassAUROC

class torchmetrics.classification.MulticlassAUROC(num_classes, average='macro', thresholds=None, ignore_index=None, validate_args=True, **kwargs)

Compute Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC AUC) for multiclass tasks.

The AUROC score summarizes the ROC curve into an single number that describes the performance of a model for multiple thresholds at the same time. Notably, an AUROC score of 1 is a perfect score and an AUROC score of 0.5 corresponds to random guessing.

For multiclass the metric is calculated by iteratively treating each class as the positive class and all other classes as the negative, which is referred to as the one-vs-rest approach. One-vs-one is currently not supported by this metric. By default the reported metric is then the average over all classes, but this behavior can be changed by setting the average argument.

As input to forward and update the metric accepts the following input:

• preds (Tensor): A float tensor of shape (N, C, ...) containing probabilities or logits for each observation. If preds has values outside [0,1] range we consider the input to be logits and will auto apply softmax per sample.

• target (Tensor): An int tensor of shape (N, ...) containing ground truth labels, and therefore only contain values in the [0, n_classes-1] range (except if ignore_index is specified).

As output to forward and compute the metric returns the following output:

• mc_auroc (Tensor): If average=None|”none” then a 1d tensor of shape (n_classes, ) will be returned with auroc score per class. If average=”macro”|”weighted” then a single scalar is returned.

Additional dimension ... will be flattened into the batch dimension.

The implementation both supports calculating the metric in a non-binned but accurate version and a binned version that is less accurate but more memory efficient. Setting the thresholds argument to None will activate the non-binned version that uses memory of size \(\mathcal{O}(n_{samples})\) whereas setting the thresholds argument to either an integer, list or a 1d tensor will use a binned version that uses memory of size \(\mathcal{O}(n_{thresholds} \times n_{classes})\) (constant memory).

Parameters:

• num_classes (int) – Integer specifying the number of classes

• average (Optional[Literal['macro', 'weighted', 'none']]) –

  Defines the reduction that is applied over classes. Should be one of the following:

  • macro: Calculate score for each class and average them

  • weighted: calculates score for each class and computes weighted average using their support

  • "none" or None: calculates score for each class and applies no reduction

• thresholds (Union[int, List[float], Tensor, None]) –

  Can be one of:

  • If set to None, will use a non-binned approach where thresholds are dynamically calculated from all the data. Most accurate but also most memory consuming approach.

  • If set to an int (larger than 1), will use that number of thresholds linearly spaced from 0 to 1 as bins for the calculation.

  • If set to an list of floats, will use the indicated thresholds in the list as bins for the calculation

  • If set to an 1d tensor of floats, will use the indicated thresholds in the tensor as bins for the calculation.

• validate_args (bool) – bool indicating if input arguments and tensors should be validated for correctness. Set to False for faster computations.

• kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments, see Advanced metric settings for more info.

Tensor

Returns:

If average=None|”none” then a 1d tensor of shape (n_classes, ) will be returned with auroc score per class. If average=”micro|macro”|”weighted” then a single scalar is returned.

Example

>>> from torchmetrics.functional.classification import multilabel_auroc
>>> preds = torch.tensor([[0.75, 0.05, 0.35],
...                       [0.45, 0.75, 0.05],
...                       [0.05, 0.55, 0.75],
...                       [0.05, 0.65, 0.05]])
>>> target = torch.tensor([[1, 0, 1],
...                        [0, 0, 0],
...                        [0, 1, 1],
...                        [1, 1, 1]])
>>> multilabel_auroc(preds, target, num_labels=3, average="macro", thresholds=None)
tensor(0.6528)
>>> multilabel_auroc(preds, target, num_labels=3, average=None, thresholds=None)
tensor([0.6250, 0.5000, 0.8333])
>>> multilabel_auroc(preds, target, num_labels=3, average="macro", thresholds=5)
tensor(0.6528)
>>> multilabel_auroc(preds, target, num_labels=3, average=None, thresholds=5)
tensor([0.6250, 0.5000, 0.8333])
