Overview

ReLax (Recourse Explanation Library in Jax) is a library built on top of jax to generate counterfactual and recourse explanations. By leveraging vectorization though vmap/pmap and just-in-time compilation in jax, ReLax offers massive speed improvements in generating individual (or local) explanations.

Some of the key features:

• 🏃 Fast recourse generation via jax.jit, jax.vmap/jax.pmap.

• 🚀 Accelerated over cpu, gpu, tpu.

• 🪓 Extensive recourse methods implemented for benchmarking.

• 👐 Customizable API to enable building entire modeling and interpreting pipeline.

Installation

The latest ReLax release can directly be installed from PyPI:

pip install jax-relax

or install directly from the repository:

pip install git+https://github.com/BirkhoffG/ReLax.git 

To futher unleash the power of accelerators (i.e., GPU/TPU), we suggest to first install this library via pip install jax-relax. Then, follow steps in the official install guidelines to install the right version for GPU or TPU.
