When Subtyping Constraints Liberate A Novel Type Inference Approach for First-Class Polymorphism
Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux, Aleksander Slawomir Boruch-Gruszecki
Type inference in the presence of first-class or "impredicative" second-order polymorphism a la System F has been an active research area for several decades, with original works dating back to the end of the 80s. Yet, until now many basic problems remain ...
Assoc Computing Machinery2024A case for DOT: Theoretical Foundations for Objects with Pattern Matching and GADT-Style Reasoning
Yichen Xu, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux, Aleksander Slawomir Boruch-Gruszecki
Many programming languages in the OO tradition now support pattern matching in some form. Historical examples include Scala and Ceylon, with the more recent additions of Java, Kotlin, TypeScript, and Flow. But pattern matching on generic class hierarchies ...
New York2022Alpha-NML Universal Predictors
Michael Christoph Gastpar, Marco Bondaschi
Inspired by Sibson’s alpha-mutual information, we introduce a new parametric class of universal predictors. This class interpolates two well-known predictors, the mixture estimator, that includes the Laplace and the Krichevsky-Trofimov predictors, and the ...
