Existing techniques for Craig interpolation for the quantifier-free fragment of the theory of arrays are inefficient for computing sequence and tree interpolants: the solver needs to run for every partitioning $(A, B)$ of the interpolation…
Computational interpretations of linear logic allow static control of memory resources: the data produced by the program are endowed through its type with attributes that determine its life cycle, and guarantee safe deallocation. The use of…
Reasoning with LLMs increasingly unfolds inside a broader verification loop. Internally, systems use cheap checks, such as self-consistency or proxy rewards, which we call weak verification. Externally, users inspect outputs and steer the…
Variable selection for models including interactions between explanatory variables often needs to obey certain hierarchical constraints. The weak or strong structural hierarchy requires that the existence of an interaction term implies at…
Weak memory models specify the semantics of concurrent programs on multi-core architectures. Reasoning techniques for weak memory models are often specialized to one fixed model and verification results are hence not transferable to other…
Visual search, recommendation, and contrastive similarity learning power technologies that impact billions of users worldwide. Modern model architectures can be complex and difficult to interpret, and there are several competing techniques…
Complexity theory provides a wealth of complexity classes for analyzing the complexity of decision and counting problems. Despite the practical relevance of enumeration problems, the tools provided by complexity theory for this important…
This paper studies logical aspects of the notion of better quasi order, which has been introduced by C. Nash-Williams (Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society 1965 & 1968). A central tool in the theory of better…
We improve and expand in two directions the theory of norms on complex matrices induced by random vectors. We first provide a simple proof of the classification of weakly unitarily invariant norms on the Hermitian matrices. We use this to…
We deal with the random combinatorial structures called assemblies. By weakening the logarithmic condition which assures regularity of the number of components of a given order, we extend the notion of logarithmic assemblies. Using the…
We introduce a weak version of the classical length function, termed the weak length function, defined on subsets of $R$-modules over a unital ring $R$, and further consider the concept of mean weak length for $R\Gamma$-modules associated…
We present a relatively simple description of binary, definable subsets of models of weakly quasi-o-minimal theories. In particular, we closely describe definable linear orders and prove a weak version of the monotonicity theorem. We also…
The replacement (or collection or choice) axiom scheme asserts bounded quantifier exchange. We prove the independence of this scheme from various weak theories of arithmetic, sometimes under a complexity assumption.
Large-scale recommender systems often face severe latency and storage constraints at prediction time. These are particularly acute when the number of items that could be recommended is large, and calculating predictions for the full set is…
Most of the existing classification methods are aimed at minimization of empirical risk (through some simple point-based error measured with loss function) with added regularization. We propose to approach this problem in a more information…
Recent controversy regarding the meaning and usefulness of weak values is reviewed. It is argued that in spite of recent statistical arguments by Ferrie and Combes, experiments with anomalous weak values provide a useful amplification…
Explicit theory axioms are added by a saturation-based theorem prover as one of the techniques for supporting theory reasoning. While simple and effective, adding theory axioms can also pollute the search space with many irrelevant…
Systems of fuzzy relation equations and inequalities in which an unknown fuzzy relation is on the one side of the equation or inequality are linear systems. They are the most studied ones, and a vast literature on linear systems focuses on…
Machine learning systems impact many stakeholders and groups of users, often disparately. Prior studies have reconciled conflicting user preferences by aggregating a high volume of manually labeled pairwise comparisons, but this technique…
This paper explores the well known approximation approach to decide weak bisimilarity of Basic Parallel Processes. We look into how different refinement functions can be used to prove weak bisimilarity decidable for certain subclasses. We…
