The program synthesis problem within the Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) community has typically been seen as untyped. We consider the benefits of user provided types on background knowledge. Building on the Meta-Interpretive Learning…

In this paper, we present a Hoare-style logic for reasoning about quantum programs with classical variables. Our approach offers several improvements over previous work: (1) Enhanced expressivity of the programming language: Our logic…

This paper presents a theory for the refinement of shared-memory concurrent algorithms from specifications. We augment pre and post condition specifications with Jones' rely and guarantee conditions, all of which are encoded as commands…

Session types have emerged as a powerful paradigm for structuring communication-based programs. They guarantee type soundness and session fidelity for concurrent programs with sophisticated communication protocols. As type soundness proofs…

We present a unifying framework for type systems for process calculi. The core of the system provides an accurate correspondence between essentially functional processes and linear logic proofs; fragments of this system correspond to…

We introduce two-sided type systems, which are sequent calculi for typing formulas. Two-sided type systems allow for hypothetical reasoning over the typing of compound program expressions, and the refutation of typing formulas. By…

In search for a foundational framework for reasoning about observable behavior of programs that may not terminate, we have previously devised a trace-based big-step semantics for While. In this semantics, both traces and evaluation…

Control-flow refinement refers to program transformations whose purpose is to make implicit control-flow explicit, and is used in the context of program analysis to increase precision. Several techniques have been suggested for different…

The problem of determining whether a probabilistic program terminates almost surely (i.e.~with probability one) is undecidable, and actually $\Pi^0_2$-complete. For this reason, a growing literature has explored classes of programs for…

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 introduce a functional calculus with simple syntax and operational semantics in which the calculi introduced so far in the Curry-Howard correspondence for Classical Logic can be faithfully encoded. Our calculus enjoys confluence without…

Security-sensitive applications that execute untrusted code often check the code's integrity by comparing its syntax to a known good value or sandbox the code to contain its effects. System M is a new program logic for reasoning about such…

We present a lightweight approach to Hoare-style specifications for fine-grained concurrency, based on a notion of time-stamped histories that abstractly capture atomic changes in the program state. Our key observation is that histories…

Explainable AI (XAI) methods identify which features are relevant to a model's predictions but often fail to clarify why certain decisions are made. In this work, we present a novel method that integrates causality with argument-based…

We extend the semantics and type system of a lambda calculus equipped with common constructs to be "resource-aware". That is, the semantics keeps track of the usage of resources, and is stuck, besides in case of type errors, if either a…

We consider prescriptive type systems for logic programs (as in Goedel or Mercury). In such systems, the typing is static, but it guarantees an operational property: if a program is "well-typed", then all derivations starting in a…

We introduce a Curry-Howard correspondence for a large class of intermediate logics characterized by intuitionistic proofs with non-nested applications of rules for classical disjunctive tautologies (1-depth intermediate proofs). The…

We explore an approach to type-directed program synthesis rooted in constraint-based type inference techniques. By doing this, we aim to more efficiently synthesize polymorphic code while also tackling advanced typing features such as GADTs…

Automated industrial optimization modeling requires reliable translation of natural-language requirements into solver-executable code. However, large language models often generate non-compilable models due to missing declarations, type…

Dependently typed languages are well known for having a problem with code reuse. Traditional non-indexed algebraic datatypes (e.g. lists) appear alongside a plethora of indexed variations (e.g. vectors). Functions are often rewritten for…
