The emergence of a variety of graph-based meaning representations (MRs) has sparked an important conversation about how to adequately represent semantic structure. These MRs exhibit structural differences that reflect different theoretical…

Seriation methods order a set of descriptions given some criterion (e.g., unimodality or minimum distance between similarity scores). Seriation is thus inherently a problem of finding the optimal solution among a set of permutations of…

We develop and explore the idea of recognition of languages (in the general sense of subsets of topological algebras) as preimages of clopen sets under continuous homomorphisms into Stone topological algebras. We obtain an Eilenberg…

Typography and layout lead to the hierarchical organisation of text in words, text lines, paragraphs. This inherent structure is a key property of text in any script and language, which has nonetheless been minimally leveraged by existing…

We develop sheaf theory in the context of difference algebraic geometry. We introduce categories of difference sheaves and develop the appropriate cohomology theories. As specializations, we get difference Galois cohomology, difference…

In this paper we introduce Hierarchical Diffusion Language Models (HDLM) -- a novel family of discrete diffusion models for language modeling. HDLM builds on a hierarchical vocabulary where low-level tokens with detailed semantics are…

We characterize the orderings of pairs of sets induced by several distances: Hamming, Jaccard, S\o rensen-Dice and Overlap. We also characterize these distances.

The Hausdorff distance is a measure of (dis-)similarity between two sets which is widely used in various applications. Most of the applied literature is devoted to the computation for sets consisting of a finite number of points. This has…

We study the complexity of approximations to the normalized information distance. We introduce a hierarchy of computable approximations by considering the number of oscillations. This is a function version of the difference hierarchy for…

Hierarchical clustering is a popular unsupervised data analysis method. For many real-world applications, we would like to exploit prior information about the data that imposes constraints on the clustering hierarchy, and is not captured by…

Expansions in non-integer bases have been investigated abundantly since their introduction by R\'enyi. It was discovered by Erd\H{o}s et al. that the sets of numbers with a unique expansion have a much more complex structure than in the…

Ascent sequences play a key role in the combinatorics of Fishburn structures. Difference ascent sequences are a natural generalization obtained by replacing ascents with $d$-ascents. We have recently extended the so-called hat map to…
