Don't Try This at Home: No-Go Theorems for Distributive Laws
Maaike Zwart, Dan Marsden
Beck's distributive laws provide sufficient conditions under which two monads can be composed, and monads arising from distributive laws have many desirable theoretical properties.…
Internal Wiring of Cartesian Verbs and Prepositions
Bob Coecke, Martha Lewis, Dan Marsden
Categorical compositional distributional semantics (CCDS) allows one to compute the meaning of phrases and sentences from the meaning of their constituent words. A type-structure c…
Towards Compositional Distributional Discourse Analysis
Bob Coecke, Giovanni de Felice, Dan Marsden +1
Categorical compositional distributional semantics provide a method to derive the meaning of a sentence from the meaning of its individual words: the grammatical reduction of a sen…
Proceedings of the 2018 Workshop on Compositional Approaches in Physics, NLP, and Social Sciences
Martha Lewis, Bob Coecke, Jules Hedges +2
The ability to compose parts to form a more complex whole, and to analyze a whole as a combination of elements, is desirable across disciplines. This workshop bring together resear…
Symmetric Monoidal Structure with Local Character is a Property
Stefano Gogioso, Dan Marsden, Bob Coecke
In previous work we proved that, for categories of free finite-dimensional modules over a commutative semiring, linear compact-closed symmetric monoidal structure is a property, ra…
Uniqueness of Composition in Quantum Theory and Linguistics
Bob Coecke, Fabrizio Genovese, Stefano Gogioso +2
We derive a uniqueness result for non-Cartesian composition of systems in a large class of process theories, with important implications for quantum theory and linguistics. Specifi…
