Performing $n$ steps of $\beta$-reduction to a given term in the $\lambda$-calculus can lead to an increase in the size of the resulting term that is exponential in $n$. The same is true for the possible depth increase of terms along a…

In the context of linear inverse problems, we propose and study a general iterative regularization method allowing to consider large classes of regularizers and data-fit terms. The algorithm we propose is based on a primal-dual diagonal…

A fundamental theme in automata theory is regular languages of words and trees, and their many equivalent definitions. Salvati has proposed a generalization to regular languages of simply typed $\lambda$-terms, defined using denotational…

We introduce a tensor-based model of shared representation for meta-learning from a diverse set of tasks. Prior works on learning linear representations for meta-learning assume that there is a common shared representation across different…

This paper proposes self-normalized tests for multistep conditional predictive ability in forecast comparison. By normalizing the sample mean of the transformed loss differential using functionals of its cumulative sum (CUSUM) process,…

We establish a replacement lemma for a variational problem, which is not based on a local argument. We then apply it to a phase transition problem and obtain pointwise estimates.

The renormalization method which is a type of perturbation method is extended to a tool to study weakly nonlinear time-delay systems. For systems with order-one delay, we show that the renormalization method leads to reduced systems without…

We propose a new model of computation based on nonstandard analysis. Intuitively, the role of "algorithm" is played by a new notion of finite procedure, called Omega-invariance and inspired by physics, from nonstandard analysis. Moreover,…

Traversals are commonly seen in tree data structures, and performance-enhancing transformations between tree traversals are critical for many applications. Existing approaches to reasoning about tree traversals and their transformations are…

We develop the theory of meta-iteration trees, that is, iteration trees whose base "model" is itself an ordinary iteration tree. We prove a comparison theorem for meta-iteration strategies parallel to the one for ordinary iteration…

Transformers have recently been shown to be capable of reliably performing logical reasoning over facts and rules expressed in natural language, but abductive reasoning - inference to the best explanation of an unexpected observation - has…

Tensor decomposition methods allow us to learn the parameters of latent variable models through decomposition of low-order moments of data. A significant limitation of these algorithms is that there exists no general method to regularize…

This paper studies trace-based equivalences for systems combining nondeterministic and probabilistic choices. We show how trace semantics for such processes can be recovered by instantiating a coalgebraic construction known as the…

In each variant of the lambda-calculus, factorization and normalization are two key-properties that show how results are computed. Instead of proving factorization/normalization for the call-by-name (CbN) and call-by-value (CbV) variants…
