We describe an s-expression based syntax-extension framework much like Scheme macros, with a key additional facility: the ability to define static semantics, such as type systems ...
To improve the quality of type error messages in functional programming languages, we propose four techniques which influence the behaviour of constraint-based type inference proc...

The problem of learning the structure of Bayesian networks from complete discrete data with a limit on parent set size is considered. Learning is cast explicitly as an optimisatio...
There have been several efforts to bring static type inference to object-oriented dynamic languages such as Ruby, Python, and Perl. In our experience, however, such type inference...

We review chessboard distributions for modeling partially specified finite-dimensional random vectors. Chessboard distributions can match a given set of marginals, a given covaria...
