Stop paying attention to “attention”

B Anderson - Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Cognitive …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Conceptual fragmentation is when a term assumed to have one meaning is found to have
many. When these different definitions overlap in meaning and application confusion and …

Representable Markov categories and comparison of statistical experiments in categorical probability

T Fritz, T Gonda, P Perrone, EF Rischel - Theoretical Computer Science, 2023 - Elsevier
Markov categories are a recent categorical approach to the mathematical foundations of
probability and statistics. Here, this approach is advanced by stating and proving equivalent …

Free gs-monoidal categories and free Markov categories

T Fritz, W Liang - Applied Categorical Structures, 2023 - Springer
Categorical probability has recently seen significant advances through the formalism of
Markov categories, within which several classical theorems have been proven in entirely …

Compositional abstraction error and a category of causal models

EF Rischel, S Weichwald - Uncertainty in Artificial …, 2021 - proceedings.mlr.press
Interventional causal models describe several joint distributions over some variables used to
describe a system, one for each intervention setting. They provide a formal recipe for how to …

Absolute continuity, supports and idempotent splitting in categorical probability

T Fritz, T Gonda, A Lorenzin, P Perrone… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
Markov categories have recently turned out to be a powerful high-level framework for
probability and statistics. They accomodate purely categorical definitions of notions like …

Probabilistic programming semantics for name generation

M Sabok, S Staton, D Stein, M Wolman - Proceedings of the ACM on …, 2021 - dl.acm.org
We make a formal analogy between random sampling and fresh name generation. We show
that quasi-Borel spaces, a model for probabilistic programming, can soundly interpret the ν …

A compositional account of motifs, mechanisms, and dynamics in biochemical regulatory networks

R Aduddell, J Fairbanks, A Kumar… - …, 2024 - compositionality.episciences.org
Regulatory networks depict promoting or inhibiting interactions between molecules in a
biochemical system. We introduce a category-theoretic formalism for regulatory networks …

Cartesian double theories: A double-categorical framework for categorical doctrines

M Lambert, E Patterson - Advances in Mathematics, 2024 - Elsevier
The categorified theories known as “doctrines” specify a category equipped with extra
structure, analogous to how ordinary theories specify a set with extra structure. We introduce …

Structured and decorated cospans from the viewpoint of double category theory

E Patterson - arXiv preprint arXiv:2304.00447, 2023 - arxiv.org
Structured and decorated cospans are broadly applicable frameworks for building
bicategories or double categories of open systems. We streamline and generalize these …

[PDF][PDF] The category theory of causal models

EF Rischel - Master's thesis, University of Copenhagen, 2020 - erischel.com
Building on work of Rubenstein et al, we consider a notion of structurepreserving
transformations between structural causal models. We describe a category, in the sense of …
