🎯 What: The testing gap for the GenerativeModel class was addressed. Previously, the class lacked tests for core functionalities, including matrix validation and normalization.

πŸ“Š Coverage: The following scenarios are now covered by the new alf/tests/test_generative_model.py test suite:

  • Basic initialization and auto-computed attributes (num_modalities, num_factors, num_obs, num_states, num_actions).
  • Type conversions, ensuring A, B, C, and D inputs are converted to np.float64 ndarrays.
  • Validation tests explicitly checking that ValueErrors are raised if invalid matrices with negative probabilities are supplied.
  • Normalization tests ensuring matrices correctly normalize across the appropriate axes.
  • Policy enumeration tests for both single-factor and multi-factor models with multiple planning horizons (T=1, T=2).
  • Tests verifying the generation of a uniform default E matrix, as well as the successful preservation of a user-supplied custom E matrix.

✨ Result: A significant improvement in test coverage has been achieved, fortifying the core initialization of the Active Inference models. By also implementing the missing strict probability normalizations and non-negativity validations directly in GenerativeModel.__post_init__, the model's reliability has substantially increased.

Added missing validation and normalization logic to the GenerativeModel __post_init__ function. The core matrix inputs (A, B, D) are now safely normalized, and assertions were added to raise a ValueError if any negative probabilities are detected. Additionally, a comprehensive test suite (alf/tests/test_generative_model.py) was created to test initialization, auto-computed attributes, matrix normalizations, invalid matrix validations, policy enumeration logic (both single and multi-factor models across different horizons), and habit generation (default and custom E matrices).

πŸ‘‹ Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a πŸ‘€ emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!

Updated the GitHub Actions CI workflow to point to the correct `alf/` directory instead of the non-existent `src/` and `tests/` directories, resolving the failing pipeline checks.
