To Infinite Possibilities and Beyond..

18. + NOT TOY BRIDGES …
Categorical Logic, Dialectica
Categories and Their Applications
Automated Theorem Proving and
Semantics of Programming Languages
Linear Functional Programming,
Abstract Machines and Modal Type
Theories
Logics for NLP, for Linguistic Inference
and for Contexts in AI
Combining symbolic methods and
analytics to solve big data problems
19. + Working in interdisciplinary areas is hard,
but rewarding.
Are we there yet? The frontier between logic, computing,
linguistics and categories is a fun place
to be.
Mathematics teaches you a way of
thinking, more than specific theorems.
Barriers: proprietary software and
unwillingness to `waste time’ on
formalizations
Enablers: international scientific
communities, open access NLP and
other software, growing interaction
between fields,…
Handsome payoff expected…
Fall in love with your ideas and enjoy
talking to many about them...
