Bayes-Star Usage Instructions

This document provides instructions on how to set up and run the Bayes-Star project.

Warning if You Already Have Redis

This software is currently set to clear the Redis database on localhost when it starts. I will work on a better UI. In the meantime:

  • Do not run this software if you already have a Redis database on 'localhost' because it will get cleared.

Reminder to "Use a Chat Bot"

At any time if you get stuck, just ask your favorite "chat bot".

Keeping docs up to date has always been impossible, and I'm only testing on my own context, but you can just get your favorite chat bot to explain things to you if you know how to ask. I used ChatGPT in the creation of this project.

System Overview

The dependencies are:

  • Rust
    • This runs the Rust code that does inference and training Rust.
  • REDIS
    • This is an in-memory data store (similar to MEMCACHE) where the data and theories are stored as strings.
    • You can use any store and any serialization method.
  • python3
    • This is optional because I wrote my "eval" in python3.
    • But, it is trivial and you can start over in any framework. I'm not that current on the latest data analysis tools.

Redis for the Data Store

NOTE: Training will wipe out your REDIS store on localhost, so STOP right now if you have REDIS on localhost.

See REDIS.md.

Rust for the Model

The main program is written in Rust.

There is right now some analysis code written in python3. But, if you want to use a different language for analysis, you don't have to use python.

Installing Rust on Your System

See Rust or ask your favorite chat bot.

Run

Training

NOTE: Training will wipe out your REDIS store on localhost, so STOP right now if you have REDIS on localhost.

From the rust directory:

./train.sh dating_simple

Plotting Convergence

Plot convergence for an observation of a variable using the string-valued test scenario key defined in rust/src/bin/plot.rs.

From the rust directory:

./plot.sh $OUTPUT_DIRECTORY dating_simple they_date 10
