Contributing¶

From the BoostSRL Contributing Guidelines:

“Our goal is to push the boundaries of machine learning and statistical relational learning through open development and explainable approaches to decision making in both learning and inference. We believe that these are some of the best ways to create trustworthy systems that people can learn from and interract with in their daily lives.”

The goal in this project is to match and eventually extend beyond BoostSRL (the Java version of the codebase), contributions which further this are welcome.

Building local copy of documentation

We use Sphinx autodoc with a combination of inline docstrings and reStructuredText for documenting this project. Pull requests and further updates should include appropriate documentation.

A local copy of the documentation may be built from the Makefile:
```
cd docs
make html
xdg-open build/html/index.html
```
Running the unit tests

rfgb/tests/ contains a suite of unit tests, these can be ran via the following:
```
python rfgb/tests/tests.py
```
Note

As of 0.2.0, these should be ran from the base of the repository due to their import structure.
