Weak-head normalization is inconsistent with functional extensionality in the call-by-name $\lambda$-calculus. We explore this problem from a new angle via the conflict between extensionality and effects. Leveraging ideas from work on the…
Data analysis requires translating higher level questions and hypotheses into computable statistical models. We present a mixed-methods study aimed at identifying the steps, considerations, and challenges involved in operationalizing…
The foundations of formal models for epistemic and doxastic logics often rely on certain logical aspects of modal logics such as S4 and S4.2 and their semantics; however, the corresponding mathematical results are often stated in papers or…
The resource calculus is an extension of the lambda-calculus allowing to model resource consumption. It is intrinsically non-deterministic and has two general notions of reduction - one parallel, preserving all the possible results as a…
This paper presents general syntactic conditions ensuring the strong normalization and the logical consistency of the Calculus of Algebraic Constructions, an extension of the Calculus of Constructions with functions and predicates defined…
We present a clausal resolution-based method for normal multimodal logics of confluence, whose Kripke semantics are based on frames characterised by appropriate instances of the Church-Rosser property. Here we restrict attention to eight…
In this paper, we use a categorical and functorial set up to model the syntax and inference of logics with algebraic signature, extending previous works on algebraisation of logics. The main feature of this work is that structurality, or…
Different from previous surveys in semantic parsing (Kamath and Das, 2018) and knowledge base question answering(KBQA)(Chakraborty et al., 2019; Zhu et al., 2019; Hoffner et al., 2017) we try to takes a different perspective on the study of…
This paper is about a categorical approach to model a very simple Semantically Linear lambda calculus, named Sll-calculus. This is a core calculus underlying the programming language SlPCF. In particular, in this work, we introduce the…
In this paper we introduce a term calculus ${\cal B}$ which adds to the affine $\lambda$-calculus with pairing a new construct allowing for a restricted form of contraction. We obtain a Curry-Howard correspondence between ${\cal B}$ and the…
We introduce the $L_!^S$-calculus, a linear lambda-calculus extended with scalar multiplication and term addition, that acts as a proof language for intuitionistic linear logic (ILL). These algebraic operations enable the direct expression…
We present a short proof of the Church-Rosser property for the lambda-calculus enjoying two distinguishing features: Firstly, it employs the Z-property, resulting in a short and elegant proof; and secondly, it is formalized in the nominal…
Motivated by potential applications to theoretical computer science, in particular those areas where the Curry-Howard correspondence plays an important role, as well as by the ongoing search in pure mathematics for feasible approaches to…
Algorithms like those for differentiating functional expressions manipulate the syntactic structure of mathematical expressions in a mathematically meaningful way. A formalization of such an algorithm should include a specification of its…
We present a formalization of basics related to infinite words in the generic proof assistant Isabelle/HOL. Furthermore, we present a formalization of purely morphic and morphic languages. Finally, we present a formalized definition of…
We present a generic framework that facilitates object level reasoning with logics that are encoded within the Higher Order Logic theorem proving environment of HOL Light. This involves proving statements in any logic using intuitive…
Logical relations and their generalizations are a fundamental tool in proving properties of lambda-calculi, e.g., yielding sound principles for observational equivalence. We propose a natural notion of logical relations able to deal with…
This paper presents meta-logical investigations based on category theory using the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL. We demonstrate the potential of a free logic based shallow semantic embedding of category theory by providing a formalization…
We present a proof-theoretic analysis of the logic NL$\lambda$ (Barker \& Shan 2014, Barker 2019). We notably introduce a novel calculus of proof nets and prove it is sound and complete with respect to the sequent calculus for the logic. We…
Autoformalization is the process of automatically translating from natural language mathematics to formal specifications and proofs. A successful autoformalization system could advance the fields of formal verification, program synthesis,…
