Graded Monad Coalgebras for Continuous-Time Transition Systems

Elena Di Lavore, Jonas Forster, Mario Román

Functor coalgebras capture a wide range of transition systems that must however evolve in discrete steps. We introduce graded coalgebras of graded monads and propose them to model…

A Diagrammatic Basis for Computer Programming

Filippo Bonchi, Alessandro Di Giorgio, Elena Di Lavore

Tape diagrams provide a convenient graphical notation for arrows of rig categories, i.e., categories equipped with two monoidal products, and . In this work, we i…

A Coalgebraic Model of Quantum Bisimulation

Lorenzo Ceragioli, Elena Di Lavore, Giuseppe Lomurno +1

Recent works have shown that defining a behavioural equivalence that matches the observational properties of a quantum-capable, concurrent, non-deterministic system is a surprising…

Order in Partial Markov Categories

Elena Di Lavore, Mario Román, Paweł Sobociński +1

Partial Markov categories are a recent framework for categorical probability theory that provide an abstract account of partial probabilistic computation with updating semantics. I…

Tape Diagrams for Monoidal Monads

Filippo Bonchi, Cipriano Junior Cioffo, Alessandro Di Giorgio +1

Tape diagrams provide a graphical representation for arrows of rig categories, namely categories equipped with two monoidal structures, and , where dist…

A Diagrammatic Algebra for Program Logics

Filippo Bonchi, Alessandro Di Giorgio, Elena Di Lavore

Tape diagrams provide a convenient notation for arrows of rig categories, i.e., categories equipped with two monoidal products, and , where distributes…

Effectful Mealy Machines

Filippo Bonchi, Elena Di Lavore, Mario Román

Effectful Mealy machines, which we introduce, are a generalization of Mealy machines with global effects determined by an effectful triple. We provide semantics of effectful Mealy…

Categorical Foundations of Explainable AI: A Unifying Theory

Pietro Barbiero, Stefano Fioravanti, Francesco Giannini +3

Explainable AI (XAI) aims to address the human need for safe and reliable AI systems. However, numerous surveys emphasize the absence of a sound mathematical formalization of key X…

Monoidal Streams for Dataflow Programming

Elena Di Lavore, Giovanni de Felice, Mario Román

We introduce monoidal streams: a generalization of causal stream functions to monoidal categories. In the same way that streams provide semantics to dataflow programming with pure…

Monoidal Width: Unifying Tree Width, Path Width and Branch Width

Elena Di Lavore, Paweł Sobociński

We introduce monoidal width as a measure of the difficulty of decomposing morphisms in monoidal categories. For graphs, we show that monoidal width and two variations capture exist…

Span(Graph): a Canonical Feedback Algebra of Open Transition Systems

Elena Di Lavore, Alessandro Gianola, Mario Román +2

We show that Span(Graph)*, an algebra for open transition systems introduced by Katis, Sabadini and Walters, satisfies a universal property. By itself, this is a justification of t…

Functorial Language Games for Question Answering

Giovanni de Felice, Elena Di Lavore, Mario Román +1

We present some categorical investigations into Wittgenstein's language-games, with applications to game-theoretic pragmatics and question-answering in natural language processing.
