Specificity¶

Module Interface¶

class torchmetrics.Specificity(**kwargs)[source]¶

\[\text{Specificity} = \frac{\text{TN}}{\text{TN} + \text{FP}}\]

Where \(\text{TN}\) and \(\text{FP}\) represent the number of true negatives and false positives respectively. The metric is only proper defined when \(\text{TN} + \text{FP} \neq 0\). If this case is encountered for any class/label, the metric for that class/label will be set to 0 and the overall metric may therefore be affected in turn.

This function 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 BinarySpecificity, MulticlassSpecificity and MultilabelSpecificity for the specific details of each argument influence and examples.

Legacy Example:

>>> from torch import tensor
>>> preds  = tensor([2, 0, 2, 1])
>>> target = tensor([1, 1, 2, 0])
>>> specificity = Specificity(task="multiclass", average='macro', num_classes=3)
>>> specificity(preds, target)
tensor(0.6111)
>>> specificity = Specificity(task="multiclass", average='micro', num_classes=3)
>>> specificity(preds, target)
tensor(0.6250)

static __new__(cls, task, threshold=0.5, num_classes=None, num_labels=None, average='micro', multidim_average='global', top_k=1, ignore_index=None, validate_args=True, **kwargs)[source]¶

Initialize task metric.

Return type:: Metric

BinarySpecificity¶

class torchmetrics.classification.BinarySpecificity(threshold=0.5, multidim_average='global', ignore_index=None, validate_args=True, **kwargs)[source]¶

Compute Specificity for binary tasks.

\[\text{Specificity} = \frac{\text{TN}}{\text{TN} + \text{FP}}\]

Where \(\text{TN}\) and \(\text{FP}\) represent the number of true negatives and false positives respectively. The metric is only proper defined when \(\text{TN} + \text{FP} \neq 0\). If this case is encountered a score of 0 is returned.

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

preds (Tensor): An int or float tensor of shape (N, ...). If preds is a floating point tensor with values outside [0,1] range we consider the input to be logits and will auto apply sigmoid per element. Additionally, we convert to int tensor with thresholding using the value in threshold.
target (Tensor): An int tensor of shape (N, ...)

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

bs (Tensor): If multidim_average is set to global, the metric returns a scalar value. If multidim_average is set to samplewise, the metric returns (N,) vector consisting of a scalar value per sample.

If multidim_average is set to samplewise we expect at least one additional dimension ... to be present, which the reduction will then be applied over instead of the sample dimension N.

Parameters:

threshold¶ (float) – Threshold for transforming probability to binary {0,1} predictions
multidim_average¶ (Literal['global', 'samplewise']) –
Defines how additionally dimensions ... should be handled. Should be one of the following:
- global: Additional dimensions are flatted along the batch dimension
- samplewise: Statistic will be calculated independently for each sample on the N axis. The statistics in this case are calculated over the additional dimensions.
ignore_index¶ (Optional[int]) – Specifies a target value that is ignored and does not contribute to the metric calculation
validate_args¶ (bool) – bool indicating if input arguments and tensors should be validated for correctness. Set to False for faster computations.

Example (preds is int tensor):

>>> from torch import tensor
>>> from torchmetrics.classification import BinarySpecificity
>>> target = tensor([0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1])
>>> preds = tensor([0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1])
>>> metric = BinarySpecificity()
>>> metric(preds, target)
tensor(0.6667)

Example (preds is float tensor):

>>> from torchmetrics.classification import BinarySpecificity
>>> target = tensor([0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1])
>>> preds = tensor([0.11, 0.22, 0.84, 0.73, 0.33, 0.92])
>>> metric = BinarySpecificity()
>>> metric(preds, target)
tensor(0.6667)

- If average=None/'none', the shape will be (C,)
If multidim_average is set to samplewise:
- If average='micro'/'macro'/'weighted', the shape will be (N,)
- If average=None/'none', the shape will be (N, C)

Return type:

The returned shape depends on the average and multidim_average arguments

Example (preds is int tensor):

>>> from torch import tensor
>>> from torchmetrics.functional.classification import multilabel_specificity
>>> target = tensor([[0, 1, 0], [1, 0, 1]])
>>> preds = tensor([[0, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1]])
>>> multilabel_specificity(preds, target, num_labels=3)
tensor(0.6667)
>>> multilabel_specificity(preds, target, num_labels=3, average=None)
tensor([1., 1., 0.])

Example (preds is float tensor):

>>> from torchmetrics.functional.classification import multilabel_specificity
>>> target = tensor([[0, 1, 0], [1, 0, 1]])
>>> preds = tensor([[0.11, 0.22, 0.84], [0.73, 0.33, 0.92]])
>>> multilabel_specificity(preds, target, num_labels=3)
tensor(0.6667)
>>> multilabel_specificity(preds, target, num_labels=3, average=None)
tensor([1., 1., 0.])

Example (multidim tensors):

>>> from torchmetrics.functional.classification import multilabel_specificity
>>> target = tensor([[[0, 1], [1, 0], [0, 1]], [[1, 1], [0, 0], [1, 0]]])
>>> preds = tensor([[[0.59, 0.91], [0.91, 0.99], [0.63, 0.04]],
...                 [[0.38, 0.04], [0.86, 0.780], [0.45, 0.37]]])
>>> multilabel_specificity(preds, target, num_labels=3, multidim_average='samplewise')
tensor([0.0000, 0.3333])
>>> multilabel_specificity(preds, target, num_labels=3, multidim_average='samplewise', average=None)
tensor([[0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 1.]])
