In this paper we consider first-order logic theorem proving and model building via approximation and instantiation. Given a clause set we propose its approximation into a simplified clause set where satisfiability is decidable. The…

This paper proposes a method for deriving formal specifications of systems. To accomplish this task we pass through a non trivial number of steps, concepts and tools where the first one, the most important, is the concept of method itself,…

In this paper, we prove the FPP conjecture, giving a strong upper bound on the unitary dual of a real reductive group. Our proof is an application of the global generation properties of $\mathcal{D}$-modules on the flag variety and their…

In this work, we present a method for unsupervised domain adaptation. Many adversarial learning methods train domain classifier networks to distinguish the features as either a source or target and train a feature generator network to mimic…

Interpretation methods and their restrictions to polynomials have been deeply used to control the termination and complexity of first-order term rewrite systems. This paper extends interpretation methods to a pure higher order functional…

Making classifiers robust to adversarial examples is hard. Thus, many defenses tackle the seemingly easier task of detecting perturbed inputs. We show a barrier towards this goal. We prove a general hardness reduction between detection and…

We present a sound and complete unification procedure for deterministic higher-order patterns, a class of simply-typed lambda terms introduced by Yokoyama et al. which comes with a deterministic matching problem. Our unification procedure…

"Cluster" extensions of the dynamical mean field method to include longer range correlations are discussed. It is argued that the clusters arising in these methods are naturally interpreted not as actual subunits of a physical lattice but…
