In the Calculus of Dependent Lambda Eliminations (CDLE), a pure Curry-style type theory, it is possible to generically {\lambda}-encode inductive datatypes which support course-of-values (CoV) induction. We present a datatype subsystem for…

We develop a class of algebraic interpretations for many-sorted and higher-order term rewriting systems that takes type information into account. Specifically, base-type terms are mapped to \emph{tuples} of natural numbers and higher-order…

The lambda-cube is a famous pure type system (PTS) cube of eight powerful explicit type systems that include the simple, polymorphic and dependent type theories. The lambda-cube only types Strongly Normalising (SN) terms but not all of…

Many automatic theorem provers are restricted to untyped logics, and existing translations from typed logics are bulky or unsound. Recent research proposes monotonicity as a means to remove some clutter when translating monomorphic to…

Large eliminations provide an expressive mechanism for arity- and type-generic programming. However, as large eliminations are closely tied to a type theory's primitive notion of inductive type, this expressivity is not expected within…

The Dependent Object Types (DOT) calculus incorporates concepts from functional languages (e.g. modules) with traditional object-oriented features (e.g. objects, subtyping) to achieve greater expressivity (e.g. F-bounded polymorphism).…

We introduce a new way of learning to encode position information for non-recurrent models, such as Transformer models. Unlike RNN and LSTM, which contain inductive bias by loading the input tokens sequentially, non-recurrent models are…

Refinement types -- types qualified with logical predicates -- have proven effective for lightweight verification in languages like Liquid Haskell, F*, and Dafny. However, in these systems refinements are either written in a separate…

Dependent types offer great versatility and power, but developing proofs with them can be tedious and requires considerable human guidance. We propose to integrate Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT)-based refinement types into the…

We present the first definition of strictly associative and unital $\infty$-category. Our proposal takes the form of a type theory whose terms describe the operations of such structures, and whose definitional equality relation enforces…

It is well known that univalence is incompatible with uniqueness of identity proofs (UIP), the axiom that all types are h-sets. This is due to finite h-sets having non-trivial automorphisms as soon as they are not h-propositions. A natural…

We introduce INDUCTION, a benchmark for finite structure concept synthesis in first order logic. Given small finite relational worlds with extensionally labeled target predicates, models must output a single first order logical formula that…

We reformulate recent advances in directed type theory--a type theory where the types have the structure of synthetic (higher) categories--as a logical calculus with multiple context 'zones', following the example of Pfenning and Davies.…

Type refinements combine the compositionality of typechecking with the expressivity of program logics, offering a synergistic approach to program verification. In this paper we apply dependent type refinements to SAX, a futures-based…

We show how security type systems from the literature of language-based noninterference can be represented more directly as predicates defined by structural recursion on the programs. In this context, we show how our uniform syntactic…

Predicting the judgment of a legal case from its unannotated case facts is a challenging task. The lengthy and non-uniform document structure poses an even greater challenge in extracting information for decision prediction. In this work,…
