skgrad

skgrad computes analytic input gradients for fitted scikit-learn models. It provides one consistent interface for affine estimators and multilayer perceptrons without numerical finite differences or automatic-differentiation frameworks.

import skgrad

values, jacobian = skgrad.value_and_jacobian(model, X)

values always has shape (samples, outputs) and jacobian has shape (samples, outputs, features). Regression values are predictions. Classification values are decision scores or logits, never probabilities.

Supported models

LinearRegression, Ridge, Lasso, and ElasticNet
LogisticRegression and RidgeClassifier
MLPRegressor with identity output
MLPClassifier, using pre-probability logits

Hidden MLP activations may be identity, logistic, tanh, or ReLU. ReLU uses a zero derivative at its nondifferentiable origin, matching scikit-learn's backpropagation convention.

API

skgrad.supports(model)
skgrad.model_output(model, X)
skgrad.input_jacobian(model, X)
skgrad.input_gradient(model, X, target=None)
skgrad.value_and_jacobian(model, X)

input_gradient is the scalar-output convenience API. A target is required when the model has multiple outputs.

Tree models, parameter gradients, numerical differentiation, Integrated Gradients, and baseline handling are deliberately outside the package scope.

The value_and_jacobian primitive is designed for downstream composition. For example, UnifiedIG integrates its Jacobians to explain model outputs, while MPAIG combines them with analytic loss derivatives to explain realized predictive performance.
