The so-called light logics have been introduced as logical systems enjoying quite remarkable normalization properties. Designing a type assignment system for pure lambda calculus from these logics, however, is problematic. In this paper we…

The set of pure terms which are typable in the $\lambda$$\Pi$-calculus in a given context is not recursive. So there is no general type inference algorithm for the programming language Elf and, in some cases, some type information has to be…

We consider the problem of inference in higher-order undirected graphical models with binary labels. We formulate this problem as a binary polynomial optimization problem and propose several linear programming relaxations for it. We compare…

Bernardy et al. [2018] proposed a linear type system $\lambda^q_\to$ as a core type system of Linear Haskell. In the system, linearity is represented by annotated arrow types $A \to_m B$, where $m$ denotes the multiplicity of the argument.…
