We offer a lattice-theoretic account of dynamic slicing for {\pi}-calculus, building on prior work in the sequential setting. For any run of a concurrent program, we exhibit a Galois connection relating forward slices of the start…

We focus on control constructs that allow programmers define actions to be performed when respective conditions are met without requiring the explicit evaluation and testing of conditions as part of an imperative algorithm. Such elements…

Semantic parses are directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), so semantic parsing should be modeled as graph prediction. But predicting graphs presents difficult technical challenges, so it is simpler and more common to predict the linearized graphs…

The aim of a probabilistic output analysis is to derive a probability distribution of possible output values for a program from a probability distribution of its input. We present a method for performing static output analysis, based on…

The problem of spurious programs is a longstanding challenge when training a semantic parser from weak supervision. To eliminate such programs that have wrong semantics but correct denotation, existing methods focus on exploiting…

The dominant paradigm for semantic parsing in recent years is to formulate parsing as a sequence-to-sequence task, generating predictions with auto-regressive sequence decoders. In this work, we explore an alternative paradigm. We formulate…

Abstraction is essential for reducing the complexity of systems across diverse fields, yet designing effective abstraction methodology for probabilistic models is inherently challenging due to stochastic behaviors and uncertainties. Current…

We study the computational complexity of a very basic problem, namely that of finding solutions to a very large set of random linear equations in a finite Galois Field modulo q. Using tools from statistical mechanics we are able to identify…

We present a simplified exposition of some classical and modern results on graph drawings in the plane. These results are chosen so that they illustrate some spectacular recent higher-dimensional results on the border of topology and…

Many different programs are the implementation of the same algorithm. The collection of programs can be partitioned into different classes corresponding to the algorithms they implement. This makes the collection of algorithms a quotient of…

A parametric analysis is an analysis whose input and output are parametrized with a number of parameters which can be instantiated to abstract properties after analysis is completed. This paper proposes to use Cousot and Cousot's Cardinal…

ASP programs are a convenient tool for problem solving, whereas with large problem instances the size of the state space can be prohibitive. We consider abstraction as a means of over-approximation and introduce a method to automatically…

Graph signal processing is a framework to handle graph structured data. The fundamental concept is graph shift operator, giving rise to the graph Fourier transform. While the graph Fourier transform is a centralized procedure, distributed…

Static program analysis is used to summarize properties over all dynamic executions. In a unifying approach based on 3-valued logic properties are either assigned a definite value or unknown. But in summarizing a set of executions, a…

A common technique to verify complex logic specifications for dynamical systems is the construction of symbolic abstractions: simpler, finite-state models whose behaviour mimics the one of the systems of interest. Typically, abstractions…

A new, flexible inference method for Horn logic program is proposed, which is a drastic generalization of chart parsing, partial instantiations of clauses in a program roughly corresponding to arcs in a chart. Chart-like parsing and…

We present an approach for representing abstract argumentation frameworks based on an encoding into classical higher-order logic. This provides a uniform framework for computer-assisted assessment of abstract argumentation frameworks using…

The technique of abstracting abstract machines (AAM) provides a systematic approach for deriving computable approximations of evaluators that are easily proved sound. This article contributes a complementary step-by-step process for…

Given the set of paths through a digraph, the result of uniformly deleting some vertices and identifying others along each path is coherent in such a way as to yield the set of paths through another digraph, called a \emph{path abstraction}…

While high-level data parallel frameworks, like MapReduce, simplify the design and implementation of large-scale data processing systems, they do not naturally or efficiently support many important data mining and machine learning…
