Exact representations of real numbers such as the signed digit representation or more generally linear fractional representations or the infinite Gray code represent real numbers as infinite streams of digits. In earlier work by the first…
A theory T is tight if different deductively closed extensions of T (in the same language) cannot be bi-interpretable. Many well-studied foundational theories are tight, including PA [Visser2006], ZF, Z2, and KM [enayat2017]. In this…
Rule-based machine translation is more data efficient than the big data-based machine translation approaches, making it appropriate for languages with low bilingual corpus resources -- i.e., minority languages. However, the rule-based…
Prompt programming treats large language model prompts as software components with typed interfaces. Based on a literature survey of 15 recent works from 2023 to 2025, we observe a consistent trend: type systems are central to emerging…
We show that any multiple-valued function can be represented by a linear lambda term typed in a second-order polymorphic type system, using two distinct styles. The first is a circuit style, which mimics combinational circuits in switching…
The density, denoted by $\kappa(n,r)$, of permutations having no cycles of length less than $r+1$ in a symmetric group $\mathrm{S}_n$ is explored. New asymptotic formulas for $\kappa(n,r)$ are obtained using the saddle-point method when…
Type theories with multi-clocked guarded recursion provide a flexible framework for programming with coinductive types encoding productivity in types. Combining this with solutions to general guarded domain equations one can also construct…
The paper presents exponentially-strong converses for source-coding, channel coding, and hypothesis testing problems. More specifically, it presents alternative proofs for the well-known exponentially-strong converse bounds for almost…
The choice of how to represent an abstract type can have a major impact on the performance of a program, yet mainstream compilers cannot perform optimizations at such a high level. When dealing with optimizations of data type…
Counting distinct permutations with replacement, especially when involving multiple subwords, is a longstanding challenge in combinatorial analysis, with critical applications in cryptography, bioinformatics, and statistical modeling. This…
In this paper, we focus on learning structure-aware document representations from data without recourse to a discourse parser or additional annotations. Drawing inspiration from recent efforts to empower neural networks with a structural…
Postulating an impredicative universe in dependent type theory allows System F style encodings of finitary inductive types, but these fail to satisfy the relevant {\eta}-equalities and consequently do not admit dependent eliminators. To…
We study increasingly expressive type systems, from $F^\mu$ -- an extension of the polymorphic lambda calculus with equirecursive types -- to $F^{\mu;}_\omega$ -- the higher-order polymorphic lambda calculus with equirecursive types and…
We introduce Transformer Grammars (TGs), a novel class of Transformer language models that combine (i) the expressive power, scalability, and strong performance of Transformers and (ii) recursive syntactic compositions, which here are…
In two earlier papers we derived congruence formats with regard to transition system specifications for weak semantics on the basis of a decomposition method for modal formulas. The idea is that a congruence format for a semantics must…
This dissertation presents a multifaceted look into the structural decomposition of permutation classes. The theory of permutation patterns is a rich and varied field, and is a prime example of how an accessible and intuitive definition…
In this article, we consider limit theorems for some weighted type random sums (or discrete rough integrals). We introduce a general transfer principle from limit theorems for unweighted sums to limit theorems for weighted sums via rough…
The stable model semantics had been recently generalized to non-Herbrand structures by several works, which provides a unified framework and solid logical foundations for answer set programming. This paper focuses on the expressiveness of…
We present a graded modal type theory, a dependent type theory with grades that can be used to enforce various properties of the code. The theory has $\Pi$-types, weak and strong $\Sigma$-types, natural numbers, an empty type, and a…
Multimodal representations that enable cross-modal retrieval are widely used. However, these often lack interpretability making it difficult to explain the retrieved results. Solutions such as learning sparse disentangled representations…
