The concept of a "unique" object arises in many emerging programming languages such as Clean, CQual, Cyclone, TAL, and Vault. In each of these systems, unique objects ma...
Abstract. A variant of iterative learning in the limit (cf. [LZ96]) is studied when a learner gets negative examples refuting conjectures containing data in excess of the target la...
We present a variant of Proof-Carrying Code (PCC) in which the trusted inference rules are represented as a higher-order logic program, the proof checker is replaced by a nondeter...
A program’s object model captures the essence of its design. For some programs, no object model was developed during design; for others, an object model exists but may be out-of...
Pseudo-likelihood and contrastive divergence are two well-known examples of contrastive methods. These algorithms trade off the probability of the correct label with the probabili...
