Algebraic theories with dependency between sorts form the structural core of Martin-L\"of type theory and similar systems. Their denotational semantics are typically studied using categorical techniques; many different categorical…

In these lecture notes, we give a brief introduction to some elements of category theory. The choice of topics is guided by applications to functional programming. Firstly, we study initial algebras, which provide a mathematical…

Concept erasure is extensively utilized in image generation to prevent text-to-image models from generating undesired content. Existing methods can effectively erase narrow concepts that are specific and concrete, such as distinct…

Ensuring that neural models used in real-world applications cannot infer sensitive information, such as demographic attributes like gender or race, from text representations is a critical challenge when fairness is a concern. We address…

This is the first of a pair of papers where we construct and investigate a closed monoidal structure on the category of generalized algebraic theories (in the sense of Cartmell). In the present text, as a starting point, we define the…

Abstracting Gradual Typing (AGT) is an approach to systematically deriving gradual counterparts to static type disciplines. The approach consists of defining the semantics of gradual types by interpreting them as sets of static types, and…

We present guarded dependent type theory, gDTT, an extensional dependent type theory with a `later' modality and clock quantifiers for programming and proving with guarded recursive and coinductive types. The later modality is used to…

Extracting entities and relations for types of interest from text is important for understanding massive text corpora. Traditionally, systems of entity relation extraction have relied on human-annotated corpora for training and adopted an…

Lambda calculi with algebraic data types lie at the core of functional programming languages and proof assistants, but conceal at least two fundamental theoretical problems already in the presence of the simplest non-trivial data type, the…

In separation logic program analyses, tractability is generally achieved by restricting invariants to a finite abstract domain. As this domain cannot vary, loss of information can cause failure even when verification is possible in the…

One of the most attractive features of untyped languages is the flexibility in term creation and manipulation. However, with such power comes the responsibility of ensuring the correctness of these operations. A solution is adding run-time…

We propose to use orthologic as the basis for designing type systems supporting intersection, union, and negation types in the presence of subtyping assumptions. We show how to extend orthologic to support monotonic and antimonotonic…

We present a type theory with some proof-irrelevance built into the conversion rule. We argue that this feature is useful when type theory is used as the logical formalism underlying a theorem prover. We also show a close relation with the…

We present a domain-specific type theory for constructions and proofs in category theory. The type theory axiomatizes notions of category, functor, profunctor and a generalized form of natural transformations. The type theory imposes an…

Datatype-generic programming increases program abstraction and reuse by making functions operate uniformly across different types. Many approaches to generic programming have been proposed over the years, most of them for Haskell, but…

In this paper we investigate using the methodology of algebraic logic, deep algebraic results to prove three new omitting types theorems for finite variable fragments of first order logic. As a sample, we show that it T is an L_n theory and…

Constructive type theory combines logic and programming in one language. This is useful both for reasoning about programs written in type theory, as well as for reasoning about other programming languages inside type theory. It is…
