### Main features - **Built-in models**: Ready-to-use FHE-friendly models with a user interface that is equivalent to their the scikit-learn and XGBoost counterparts - **Customs models**: Concrete ML supports models that can use quantization-aware training. These are developed by the user using PyTorch or keras/tensorflow and are imported into Concrete ML through ONNX *Learn more about Concrete ML features in the [documentation](https://docs.zama.ai/concrete-ml).*
### Use cases By leveraging FHE, Concrete ML can unlock a myriad of new use cases for machine learning, such as enabling secure and private data collaboration, protecting sensitive data while still allowing for analysis, and facilitating machine learning on data-sets that are subject to strict data privacy regulations, for instance - **Healthcare data analysis**: Improve patient care while maintaining privacy by allowing secure, confidential data sharing between healthcare providers. - **Financial services**: Facilitate secure financial data analysis for risk management and fraud detection, keeping client information encrypted and safe. - **Ad campaign tracking**: Create targeted advertising and campaign insights in a post-cookie era, ensuring user privacy through encrypted data analysis. - **Industries:** Enable predictive maintenance in the cloud while keeping sensitive data confidential, enhancing efficiency and data security. - **Biometrics:** Give the ability to create user authentication applications without having to reveal their identities. - **Government:** Enable governments to create digitized versions of their services without having to trust cloud providers. *See more use cases in the list of [demos](#demos).*

## Getting Started ### Installation Depending on your OS, Concrete ML may be installed with Docker or with pip: | OS / HW | Available on Docker | Available on pip | | :-------------------------------------: | :-----------------: | :--------------: | | Linux | Yes | Yes | | Windows | Yes | No | | Windows Subsystem for Linux | Yes | Yes | | macOS 11+ (Intel) | Yes | Yes | | macOS 11+ (Apple Silicon: M1, M2, etc.) | Coming soon | Yes | Note: Concrete ML only supports Python `3.8`, `3.9`, `3.10` and `3.11`. Concrete ML can be installed on Kaggle ([see this question on the community for more details](https://community.zama.ai/t/how-do-we-use-concrete-ml-on-kaggle/332)) and on Google Colab. #### Docker To install with Docker, pull the `concrete-ml` image as follows: `docker pull zamafhe/concrete-ml:latest` #### Pip To install Concrete ML from PyPi, run the following: ``` pip install -U pip wheel setuptools pip install concrete-ml ``` *Find more detailed installation instructions in [this part of the documentation](https://docs.zama.ai/concrete-ml/getting-started/pip_installing)* ### A simple example Here is a simple example which is very close to scikit-learn for a logistic regression : ```python from sklearn.datasets import make_classification from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split from concrete.ml.sklearn import LogisticRegression # Lets create a synthetic data-set x, y = make_classification(n_samples=100, class_sep=2, n_features=30, random_state=42) # Split the data-set into a train and test set X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split( x, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42 ) # Now we train in the clear and quantize the weights model = LogisticRegression(n_bits=8) model.fit(X_train, y_train) # We can simulate the predictions in the clear y_pred_clear = model.predict(X_test) # We then compile on a representative set model.compile(X_train) # Finally we run the inference on encrypted inputs ! y_pred_fhe = model.predict(X_test, fhe="execute") print("In clear :", y_pred_clear) print("In FHE :", y_pred_fhe) print(f"Similarity: {int((y_pred_fhe == y_pred_clear).mean()*100)}%") # Output: # In clear : [0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0] # In FHE : [0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0] # Similarity: 100% ```
It is also possible to call encryption, model prediction, and decryption functions separately as follows. Executing these steps separately is equivalent to calling `predict_proba` on the model instance. ```python # Predict probability for a single example y_proba_fhe = model.predict_proba(X_test[[0]], fhe="execute") # Quantize an original float input q_input = model.quantize_input(X_test[[0]]) # Encrypt the input q_input_enc = model.fhe_circuit.encrypt(q_input) # Execute the linear product in FHE q_y_enc = model.fhe_circuit.run(q_input_enc) # Decrypt the result (integer) q_y = model.fhe_circuit.decrypt(q_y_enc) # De-quantize and post-process the result y0 = model.post_processing(model.dequantize_output(q_y)) print("Probability with `predict_proba`: ", y_proba_fhe) print("Probability with encrypt/run/decrypt calls: ", y0) ``` *This example is explained in more detail in the [linear model documentation](https://docs.zama.ai/concrete-ml/built-in-models/linear).* Concrete ML built-in models have APIs that are almost identical to their scikit-learn counterparts. It is also possible to convert PyTorch networks to FHE with the Concrete ML conversion APIs. Please refer to the [linear models](docs/built-in-models/linear.md), [tree-based models](docs/built-in-models/tree.md) and [neural networks](docs/built-in-models/neural-networks.md) documentation for more examples, showing the scikit-learn-like API of the built-in models. > \[!Note\] > **Zama 5-Question Developer Survey** > > We want to hear from you!
