Interpretability and Diagnostics Tools for Gaussian Processes

GPClarity: Gaussian Process Interpretability Toolkit

GPClarity is a production-ready library that transforms black-box Gaussian Process models into interpretable, debuggable, and trustworthy tools. Built on GPy and emukit, it provides human-readable insights into kernel behavior, uncertainty patterns, and model complexity.

🎯 Features

• 🔍 Kernel Interpretation: Translate raw kernel math into human meaning
• 📊 Uncertainty Profiling: Visualize and diagnose uncertainty behavior
• 📈 Hyperparameter Tracking: Monitor optimization dynamics in real-time
• 🧮 Complexity Quantification: Measure and prevent overfitting
• 🎯 Data Influence Analysis: Identify impactful training points
• 🔗 Emukit Integration: Seamless Bayesian optimization support

🚀 Quick Start

import gpclarity
import GPy
import numpy as np

# Train a Gaussian Process
X = np.linspace(0, 10, 50).reshape(-1, 1)
y = np.sin(X).flatten() + 0.1 * np.random.randn(50)

kernel = GPy.kern.RBF(1) + GPy.kern.White(1)
model = GPy.models.GPRegression(X, y[:, None], kernel)
model.optimize()

summary = gpclarity.summarize_kernel(model)

profiler = gpclarity.UncertaintyProfiler(model)
X_test = np.linspace(-2, 12, 200).reshape(-1, 1)
profiler.plot(X_test, X_train=X, y_train=y)

tracker = gpclarity.HyperparameterTracker(model)
history = tracker.wrapped_optimize(max_iters=50)
tracker.plot_evolution()

complexity = gpclarity.compute_complexity_score(model, X)
print(f"Complexity: {complexity['score']:.2f} - {complexity['interpretation']}")

🔬 Advanced Usage

Emukit Integration

from gpclarity import ClarityBayesianOptimizationLoop

loop = ClarityBayesianOptimizationLoop(model, space)
loop.run_loop(user_function, stopping_condition)
loop.plot_diagnostics()

Batch Processing

models = [model1, model2, model3]
reports = [gpclarity.summarize_kernel(m, verbose=False) for m in models]
