This repository contains the source code for the simulations performed in Part I and II of the "Realising Synthetic Active Inference Agents" paper series. Simulations are performed with Jupyter Notebook, Julia and RxInfer. Original figures can be regenerated from the v0.1.0 release of this repository.
In order to install the Julia language (v1.10.4), follow the platform-specific instructions at https://julialang.org/downloads/
Jupyter notebook is a framework for running Julia scripts (among other languages). It is well-suited for showing demo applications and interactive experimentation. In order to install Jupyter Notebook, follow the instructions at https://jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html
The simulation notebooks require several external packages. To install them, open Julia
$ julia
and enter the package prompt by typing a closing bracket
julia> ]
Next, activate the virtual environment
(v1.10) pkg> activate .
and instantiate the required packages
(LAIF) pkg> instantiate
This will download and install the required packages in the virtual environment named LAIF.
Exit Julia, navigate to the root directory and start a Jupyter server
~/LAIF$ jupyter notebook
A browser window should open, and you can select the demo you wish to run.
