PyTorch Tabular aims to make Deep Learning with Tabular data easy and accessible to real-world cases and research alike. The core principles behind the design of the library are:

- Low Resistance Usability
- Easy Customization
- Scalable and Easier to Deploy

It has been built on the shoulders of giants like **PyTorch**(obviously), and **PyTorch Lightning**.

## Installation

Although the installation includes PyTorch, the best and recommended way is to first install PyTorch from [here](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/), picking up the right CUDA version for your machine.

Once, you have got Pytorch installed, just use:

```bash
pip install -U “pytorch_tabular[extra]”
```

to install the complete library with extra dependencies (Weights&Biases & Plotly).

And :

```bash
pip install -U “pytorch_tabular”
```

for the bare essentials.

The sources for pytorch_tabular can be downloaded from the `Github repo`\_.

You can either clone the public repository:

```bash
git clone git://github.com/manujosephv/pytorch_tabular
```

Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it with:

```bash
cd pytorch_tabular && pip install .[extra]
```

## Available Models

- FeedForward Network with Category Embedding is a simple FF network, but with an Embedding layers for the categorical columns.
- [Neural Oblivious Decision Ensembles for Deep Learning on Tabular Data](https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.06312) is a model presented in ICLR 2020 and according to the authors have beaten well-tuned Gradient Boosting models on many datasets.
- [TabNet: Attentive Interpretable Tabular Learning](https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.07442) is another model coming out of Google Research which uses Sparse Attention in multiple steps of decision making to model the output.
- [Mixture Density Networks](https://publications.aston.ac.uk/id/eprint/373/1/NCRG_94_004.pdf) is a regression model which uses gaussian components to approximate the target function and  provide a probabilistic prediction out of the box.
- [AutoInt: Automatic Feature Interaction Learning via Self-Attentive Neural Networks](https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.11921) is a model which tries to learn interactions between the features in an automated way and create a better representation and then use this representation in downstream task
- [TabTransformer](https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.06678) is an adaptation of the Transformer model for Tabular Data which creates contextual representations for categorical features.
- FT Transformer from [Revisiting Deep Learning Models for Tabular Data](https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.11959)
- [Gated Additive Tree Ensemble](https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.08548v3) is a novel high-performance, parameter and computationally efficient deep learning architecture for tabular data. GATE uses a gating mechanism, inspired from GRU, as a feature representation learning unit with an in-built feature selection mechanism. We combine it with an ensemble of differentiable, non-linear decision trees, re-weighted with simple self-attention to predict our desired output.
- [Gated Adaptive Network for Deep Automated Learning of Features (GANDALF)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.08548) is pared-down version of GATE which is more efficient and performing than GATE. GANDALF makes GFLUs the main learning unit, also introducing some speed-ups in the process. With very minimal hyperparameters to tune, this becomes an easy to use and tune model.
- [DANETs: Deep Abstract Networks for Tabular Data Classification and Regression](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.02962v4.pdf) is a novel and flexible neural component for tabular data, called Abstract Layer (AbstLay), which learns to explicitly group correlative input features and generate higher-level features for semantics abstraction.  A special basic block is built using AbstLays, and we construct a family of Deep Abstract Networks (DANets) for tabular data classification and regression by stacking such blocks.

**Semi-Supervised Learning**

- [Denoising AutoEncoder](https://www.kaggle.com/code/springmanndaniel/1st-place-turn-your-data-into-daeta) is an autoencoder which learns robust feature representation, to compensate any noise in the dataset.

## Implement Custom Models
To implement new models, see the [How to implement new models tutorial](https://github.com/manujosephv/pytorch_tabular/blob/main/docs/tutorials/04-Implementing%20New%20Architectures.ipynb). It covers basic as well as advanced architectures.

## Usage

```python
from pytorch_tabular import TabularModel
from pytorch_tabular.models import CategoryEmbeddingModelConfig
from pytorch_tabular.config import (
    DataConfig,
    OptimizerConfig,
    TrainerConfig,
    ExperimentConfig,
)

data_config = DataConfig(
    target=[
        "target"
    ],  # target should always be a list.
    continuous_cols=num_col_names,
    categorical_cols=cat_col_names,
)
trainer_config = TrainerConfig(
    auto_lr_find=True,  # Runs the LRFinder to automatically derive a learning rate
    batch_size=1024,
    max_epochs=100,
)
optimizer_config = OptimizerConfig()

model_config = CategoryEmbeddingModelConfig(
    task="classification",
    layers="1024-512-512",  # Number of nodes in each layer
    activation="LeakyReLU",  # Activation between each layers
    learning_rate=1e-3,
)

tabular_model = TabularModel(
    data_config=data_config,
    model_config=model_config,
    optimizer_config=optimizer_config,
    trainer_config=trainer_config,
)
tabular_model.fit(train=train, validation=val)
result = tabular_model.evaluate(test)
pred_df = tabular_model.predict(test)
tabular_model.save_model("examples/basic")
loaded_model = TabularModel.load_model("examples/basic")
```
