Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Note: We try to adhere to these practices as of version [v1.1.1].

Version [v1.1.5] - 2024-04-30

Added

  • Unit tests: adds a simple performance benchmark to test that for a small problem, generating a counterfactual using the generic generator takes at most 4700 allocations. Only run on julia v1.10 and higher. [#436]

Changed

  • The find_potential_neighbours is now only triggered if one of the penalties of the generator requires access to samples from the target domain. This improves scalability because calling the function can be computationally costly (forward-pass). [#436]
  • The target variable encodings are now handled more efficiently. Previously certain tasks were repeated, which was not necessary. [#436]

Removed

  • Removed the assertion checking that the model ever predicts the target value. While this assertion is useful, it is not essential. For large enough models and datasets, this forward pass can be very costly. [#436]
  • Removed redundant distance_from_targets function. [#436]

Version [v1.1.4] - 2024-04-25

Changed

  • Refactors the encodings and decodings such that it is now more streamlined. Instead of conditional statements, encodings are now dispatched on the type of a new unifying data.input_encoder field. [#432]
  • Refactors the check for redundancy. This is now based on the convergence type and done right before the counterfactual search begins, if not redundant. [#432]

Added

  • Added additional unit tests. [#437]

Version [v1.1.3] - 2024-04-17

Added

  • Adds a section on Convergence to the documentation, Changelog.jl functionality and a few doc tests. [#429]

Changed

  • Changes style of taking gradients for the counterfactual search from implicit to explicit. [#430]
  • Removed all implicit imports. [#430]

Removed

  • Removed CUDA.jl dependency, because redundant. [#430]
  • Removed Parameters.jl dependency, because redundant. [#430]

Version [v1.1.2] - 2024-04-16

Changed

  • Replaces the GIF in the README and introduction of docs for a static image.

Version [v1.1.1] - 2024-04-15

Added

  • Added tests for LaplaceRedux extension. Bumped upper compat bound for LaplaceRedux.jl. [#428]
