The computational cost and precision of a shape style heap analysis is highly dependent on the way method calls are handled. This paper introduces a new approach to analyzing metho...
The existing call-by-need λ calculi describe lazy evaluation via equational logics. A programmer can use these logics to safely ascertain whether one term is behaviorally equivale...
There has been great interest in creating probabilistic programming languages to simplify the coding of statistical tasks; however, there still does not exist a formal language th...

The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is a popular algorithm for parameter estimation in models with hidden variables. However, the algorithm has several non-trivial limitat...
In this paper, we propose a second order optimization method to learn models where both the dimensionality of the parameter space and the number of training samples is high. In ou...
