We revisit a concept that has been central in some early stages of computer science, that of structured programming: a set of rules that an algorithm must follow in order to acquire a structure that is desirable in many aspects. While much…

Separation Logic with inductive definitions is a well-known approach for deductive verification of programs that manipulate dynamic data structures. Deciding verification conditions in this context is usually based on user-provided lemmas…

Can artificial intelligence discover, from raw experience and without human supervision, concepts that humans have discovered? One challenge is that human concepts themselves are fluid: conceptual boundaries can shift, split, and merge as…
