Version 0.5

• New Evaluation class for shared resources between experiment analysis
• New analysis.voting module
• New analysis.diversity module
• Implemented an algorithm for synthetic, hierarchical argument maps
• New FixedDebateSimulation class for simulations that run on pre-determined argument maps
• Wrote and published a user guide
• Minor extensions and housekeeping

Version 0.4

More updates for partial positions:

• Improved closedness check
• Improved representation of partial positions
• Include z3 for MaxSAT problems (needed for partial positions)
• Finish the closest closed partial coherent update strategy
• Improvements to evaluation and data analysis

Version 0.3

Simulations now support different types of events.

• Introduced an event type for the introduction of new sentences
• Updated, faster premise selection mechanism
• Enable exogenous clustering
• Add ability to initialise Simulations with user-defined Positions and Debate stages
• Leiden group divergence now respects key propositions
• Implement hierarchical debate growth (“treelike”)

Version 0.2

The second release of taupy with the goal of improving the study of partial positions. Among others, the following have changed:

• The algorithms for checking (deductive) closure in positions was reworked.
• Simulations can now be initialised with partial positions. The user can specify how many truth-value assignments the positions should start out with.
• There's a new neighbour search for partial positions: It looks for the (i) closest (ii) closed (iii) coherent (iv) partial position.
• Normalised edit distance is used in evaluating experiments on partial positions; it is integrated into the evaluations module.
• This release begins to "create exactly the data we need, when we need it" and has less of the old idea "create all data in advance, even when we won't need it". This job is not quite done yet.

Version 0.1

This is the initial release of taupy. It is the basis for the paper Arguments as drivers of issue polarisation in debates among artificial agents.
