Step-by-step reasoning is widely used to enhance the reasoning ability of large language models (LLMs) in complex problems. Evaluating the quality of reasoning traces is crucial for understanding and improving LLM reasoning. However,…

First-order resolution has been used for type inference for many years, including in Hindley- Milner type inference, type-classes, and constrained data types. Dependent types are a new trend in functional languages. In this paper, we show…

We present a call-by-need $\lambda$-calculus that enables strong reduction (that is, reduction inside the body of abstractions) and guarantees that arguments are only evaluated if needed and at most once. This calculus uses explicit…

A fully-automated algorithm is developed able to show that evaluation of a given untyped lambda-expression will terminate under CBV (call-by-value). The ``size-change principle'' from first-order programs is extended to arbitrary untyped…

We present Turnstile+, a high-level, macros-based metaDSL for building dependently typed languages. With it, programmers may rapidly prototype and iterate on the design of new dependently typed features and extensions. Or they may create…

This paper is a contribution to the search for efficient and high-level mathematical tools to specify and reason about (abstract) programming languages or calculi. Generalising the reduction monads of Ahrens et al., we introduce transition…

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…

Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) have emerged as a promising alternative to Autoregressive Language Models, yet their inference strategies remain limited to prefix-based prompting inherited from the autoregressive paradigm. In this paper,…

We analyse the cross-lingual transferability of a dialogue evaluation framework that assesses the relationships between micro-level linguistic features (e.g. backchannels) and macro-level interactivity labels (e.g. topic management),…

We introduce a natural language interface for building stochastic pi calculus models of biological systems. In this language, complex constructs describing biochemical events are built from basic primitives of association, dissociation and…

The formal system lambda-delta is a typed lambda calculus that pursues the unification of terms, types, environments and contexts as the main goal. lambda-delta takes some features from the Automath-related lambda calculi and some from the…

We present a new technique for automatically inferring inductive invariants of parameterized distributed protocols specified in TLA+. Ours is the first such invariant inference technique to work directly on TLA+, an expressive, high level…

We introduce a method to evaluate untyped lambda terms by combining the theory of traversals, a term-tree traversing technique inspired from Game Semantics, with judicious use of the eta-conversion rule of the lambda calculus. The traversal…

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…

This work exploits the logical foundation of session types to determine what kind of type discipline for the pi-calculus can exactly capture, and is captured by, lambda-calculus behaviours. Leveraging the proof theoretic content of the…

We propose a rich foundational theory of typed data streams and stream transformers, motivated by two high-level goals: (1) The type of a stream should be able to express complex sequential patterns of events over time. And (2) it should…

Motivated by the need for rigorous and scalable evaluation of large language models, we study contextual preference inference for pairwise comparison functionals of context-dependent preference score functions across domains. Focusing on…

In functional programming, point-free relation calculi have been fruitful for general theories of program construction, but for specific applications pointwise expressions can be more convenient and comprehensible. In imperative…

Text classification has long been a staple within Natural Language Processing (NLP) with applications spanning across diverse areas such as sentiment analysis, recommender systems and spam detection. With such a powerful solution, it is…

We present a full-spectrum dependently typed core language which includes both nontermination and computational irrelevance (a.k.a. erasure), a combination which has not been studied before. The two features interact: to protect type safety…
