Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

It is a great pleasure to introduce this paper by my old friend Glynn Winskel. Game semantics has been growing vigorously since the early 2000's with the breakthrough work of Abramsky, Jagadeesan and Malacaria and Hyland and Ong as well as Hanno Nickau on capturing the notion of sequentiality in functional programming languages. Many extensions appeared in the following years capturing concepts like nondeterminism, state and control flow. More recently Abramsky and his collaborators have developed the notion of game comonads and made connections with complexity theory; this was the subject of an earlier article in this column.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
