Skeletal call-by-need is an optimization of call-by-need evaluation also known as "fully lazy sharing": when the duplication of a value has to take place, it is first split into "skeleton", which is then duplicated, and "flesh" which is…
Optimization problems with an auxiliary latent variable structure in addition to the main model parameters occur frequently in computer vision and machine learning. The additional latent variables make the underlying optimization task…
The aim of this work is to characterize three fundamental normalization proprieties in lambda-calculus trough the Taylor expansion of $ \lambda$-terms. The general proof strategy consists in stating the dependence of ordinary reduction…
The intuitionistic fragment of the call-by-name version of Curien and Herbelin's \lambda\_mu\_{\~mu}-calculus is isolated and proved strongly normalising by means of an embedding into the simply-typed lambda-calculus. Our embedding is a…
Test-time compute scaling, the practice of spending extra computation during inference via repeated sampling, search, or extended reasoning, has become a powerful lever for improving large language model performance. Yet deploying these…
We consider the non-deterministic extension of the call-by-value lambda calculus, which corresponds to the additive fragment of the linear-algebraic lambda-calculus. We define a fine-grained type system, capturing the right linearity…
The author presents alternatives to the Black-Scholes european call option pricing model by incorporating different transaction cost structures in the replicating strategy. In particular, an exponentially decreasing structure is proposed…
We extend the {\lambda}-calculus with constructs suitable for relational and functional-logic programming: non-deterministic choice, fresh variable introduction, and unification of expressions. In order to be able to unify…
Computer models, aiming at simulating a complex real system, are often calibrated in the light of data to improve performance. Standard calibration methods assume that the optimal values of calibration parameters are invariant to the model…
The resource calculus is an extension of the lambda-calculus allowing to model resource consumption. It is intrinsically non-deterministic and has two general notions of reduction - one parallel, preserving all the possible results as a…
In CSL-LICS 2014, Accattoli and Dal Lago showed that there is an implementation of the ordinary (i.e. strong, pure, call-by-name) $\lambda$-calculus into models like RAM machines which is polynomial in the number of $\beta$-steps, answering…
Large language models (LLMs), based on transformer architectures, have revolutionized numerous domains within artificial intelligence, science, and engineering due to their exceptional scalability and adaptability. However, the exponential…
Twenty years after its introduction by Ehrhard and Regnier, differentiation in $\lambda$-calculus and in linear logic is now a celebrated tool. In particular, it allows to establish a Taylor expansion formula for various $\lambda$-calculi,…
Recently Quantum Computation has generated a lot of interest due to the discovery of a quantum algorithm which can factor large numbers in polynomial time. The usefulness of a quantum com puter is limited by the effect of errors. Simulation…
We advocate the replacement of standard alphas(mu)-based QCD perturbation theory, in which the coupling and truncated perturbative predictions are dependent on the chosen renormalisation scheme, by a Lambda-based approach in which QCD…
The categorical models of the differential lambda-calculus are additive categories because of the Leibniz rule which requires the summation of two expressions. This means that, as far as the differential lambda-calculus and differential…
The Resource $\lambda$-calculus is a variation of the $\lambda$-calculus where arguments can be superposed and must be linearly used. Hence it is a model for linear and non-deterministic programming languages, and the target language of…
This paper presents the Functional Machine Calculus (FMC) as a simple model of higher-order computation with "reader/writer" effects: higher-order mutable store, input/output, and probabilistic and non-deterministic computation. The FMC…
Nonlinear parametric inverse problems appear in many applications and are typically very expensive to solve, especially if they involve many measurements. These problems pose huge computational challenges as evaluating the objective…
In the lambda calculus a term is solvable iff it is operationally relevant. Solvable terms are a superset of the terms that convert to a final result called normal form. Unsolvable terms are operationally irrelevant and can be equated…
