This is code for our work The ARC Toolbox: Artificial Languages with Rhythmicity Control

⚠️ This repository is no longer up-to-date. We migrated arc's core functions to a new and more feature-rich toolbox called alparc. Please try ALPARC instead.

The following describes how you can set up the software and run the experiments from the paper.

The simplest is to clone this repository and install ARC in editable mode:

pip install -e .

If you want to use ARC as a package, you can install it directly from git with

pip install git+https://github.com/milosen/arc.git

Clone this repository. Install jupyter

pip install jupyter

If you use a virtual environement, you also need to install the ipython-kernel:

python -m ipykernel install --user --name=arc

In this case, don't forget to select the arc kernel in the jupyter session's kernel option (Kernel -> Change kernel -> arc).

Start jupyter

jupyter notebook

and select the notebook you want.

1. data_and_stats_from_the_paper.ipynb reproduces the data for the figures and the appendices of the paper
2. plots_from_the_paper.ipynb reproduces the figures in the publication
3. Optional: If you want to adapt ARC to your own research, you'll probably want to take a closer look at ARCs internals. More notebooks on that can be found in the ARC Workshop
