In this paper we provide for parsing with respect to grammars expressed in a general TFS-based formalism, a restriction of ALE. Our motivation being the design of an abstract (WAM-like) machine for the formalism, we consider parsing as a…

Continuous first-order logic is used to apply model-theoretic analysis to analytic structures (e.g. Hilbert spaces, Banach spaces, probability spaces, etc.). Classical computable model theory is used to examine the algorithmic structure of…

Categorical semantics of type theories are often characterized as structure-preserving functors. This is because in category theory both the syntax and the domain of interpretation are uniformly treated as structured categories, so that we…

This paper proposes to compute the meanings associated to sentences with generic NPs corresponding to the most of generalized quantifier. We call these generics specimens and they resemble stereotypes or prototypes in lexical semantics. The…

This paper introduces a simple type system for combinatory logic in which combinators have at most one type, whose polymorphism is revealed by application. The combinatory types exactly describe the structure of their values, which may be…

A process algebra is proposed, whose semantics maps a term to a nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA, for short). We prove a representability theorem: for each NFA $N$, there exists a process algebraic term $p$ such that its semantics is…

Decidability of definitional equality and conversion of terms into canonical form play a central role in the meta-theory of a type-theoretic logical framework. Most studies of definitional equality are based on a confluent,…

Much of the current research and development in the field of automated reasoning builds on the infrastructure provided by the TPTP World. The TPTP language for logical formulae is central to the far-reaching adoption of the TPTP World. This…

We use the "geometric axioms" point of view to give an effective listing of the complete types of the theory $DCF_{0}$ of differentially closed fields of characteristic $0$. This gives another account of observations made in earlier papers.

Quantum Bayesian networks provide a mathematical formalism to describe causal relations, to analyse correlations, and to predict the probabilities of measurement outcomes, in systems involving both classical and quantum data. They…

We introduce a formal logical language, called conditional probability logic (CPL), which extends first-order logic and which can express probabilities, conditional probabilities and which can compare conditional probabilities. Intuitively…

We present a unifying framework for type systems for process calculi. The core of the system provides an accurate correspondence between essentially functional processes and linear logic proofs; fragments of this system correspond to…

Probabilistic argumentation is an alternative to causal modeling with Bayesian networks. Probabilistic argumentation structures (PAS) are defined on families of compatible frames (f.c.f). This is a generalization of the usual multivariate…

In this note, we generalize the results of arXiv:0901.2703v1 We show that all one-way quantum finite automaton (QFA) models that are at least as general as Kondacs-Watrous QFA's are equivalent in power to classical probabilistic finite…

Type analyses of logic programs which aim at inferring the types of the program being analyzed are presented in a unified abstract interpretation-based framework. This covers most classical abstract interpretation-based type analyzers for…

Usually, probabilistic automata and probabilistic grammars have crisp symbols as inputs, which can be viewed as the formal models of computing with values. In this paper, we first introduce probabilistic automata and probabilistic grammars…
