Representing debates
Debates have turns, turns have authors and messages
We’ll represent debates as lists of turns. Each turn has the name of an agent and a message from that agent. For example, including some types:
debate/types.py
Name = str
Message = str
Turn = tuple[Name, Message]
Debate = list[Turn]
my_debate: Debate = [
("Alice", "I think we should legalize all drugs."),
("Bob", "I'm against."),
("Alice", "The war on drugs has been a failure. It's time to try something new."),
]
Here’s how we’ll initialize and render debates:
debate/utils.py
from typing import Optional
from fvalues import F
from ice.recipes.primer.debate.types import *
def initialize_debate(question: Message) -> Debate:
return [
("Question", question),
("Alice", "I'm in favor."),
("Bob", "I'm against."),
]
def render_debate(debate: Debate, self_name: Optional[Name] = None) -> str:
debate_text = ""
for speaker, text in debate:
if speaker == self_name:
speaker = "You"
debate_text += F(f'{speaker}: "{text}"\n')
return debate_text.strip()
When we render debates, we also provide the option to replace an agent name with “You”, like this:
>>> print(render_debate(my_debate, self_name="Alice"))
You: "I think we should legalize all drugs."
Bob: "I'm against."
You: "The war on drugs has been a failure. It's time to try something new."
This will help us with prompts!
