Unified Descriptive Intensional Logic
UDIL (unified descriptive intensional logic) aims to be an alternative and improved version of Bealer's logic fulfilling the goal of unifying Bealer's systems T1 and T2 together with adding features to deal with definite descriptions and singular terms and their related philosophical problems (there are interesting connections to Zalta's more restricted parallel second-order version in his book Axiomatic Metaphysics). UDIL also allows a much shorter and transparent proof of soundness, in partic…

The definable content of homological invariants II: Čech cohomology and homotopy classification
This is the second installment in a series of papers applying descriptive set theoretic techniques to both analyze and enrich classical functors from homological algebra and algebraic topology. In it, we show that the Čech cohomology functors $\check{\mathrm{H}}^n$ on the category of locally compact separable metric spaces each factor into (i) what we term their definable version, a functor $\check{\mathrm{H}}^n_{\mathrm{def}}$ taking values in the category $\mathsf{GPC}$ of groups with a Poli…

Chart2Vec: A Universal Embedding of Context-Aware Visualizations
The advances in AI-enabled techniques have accelerated the creation and automation of visualizations in the past decade. However, presenting visualizations in a descriptive and generative format remains a challenge. Moreover, current visualization embedding methods focus on standalone visualizations, neglecting the importance of contextual information for multi-view visualizations. To address this issue, we propose a new representation model, Chart2Vec, to learn a universal embedding of visuali…

Sequential Ordering in Textual Descriptions: Impact on Spatial Perception Abilities of Large Language Models
In recent years, Large Language Models have reached state-of-the-art performance across multiple domains. However, the progress in the field of graph reasoning remains limited. Our work delves into this gap by thoroughly investigating graph reasoning with LLM. In this work, we reveal the impact of text sequence on LLM spatial understanding, finding that graph-descriptive text sequences significantly affect LLM reasoning performance on graphs. By altering the graph-descriptive text sequences, we…

The older I get, the more I appreciate approaches like Wittgenstein, declaring that the meaning of a word is in its use.
Or, as Dewey expressed, "In short, the sound h-a-t gains meaning in precisely the same way that the thing ‘hat’ gains it, by being used in a given way".
It's like descriptive grammar over prescriptive grammar. What matters most is the impact our words and actions have on other people through mutual understanding and tangible effects.

Logarithmic Weisfeiler--Leman and Treewidth
In this paper, we show that the $(3k+4)$-dimensional Weisfeiler--Leman algorithm can identify graphs of treewidth $k$ in $O(\log n)$ rounds. This improves the result of Grohe & Verbitsky (ICALP 2006), who previously established the analogous result for $(4k+3)$-dimensional Weisfeiler--Leman. In light of the equivalence between Weisfeiler--Leman and the logic $\textsf{FO} + \textsf{C}$ (Cai, Fürer, & Immerman, Combinatorica 1992), we obtain an improvement in the descriptive complexity for graph…

While it trivially solves graph isomorphism, it may be nontrivial for finite groups, and other ternary relational structures.

We propose a general covariate-balancing framework based on pseudo-populations that extends established weighting methods to the meta-analysis of multiple r…

Robust estimations from distribution structures: III. Invariant Moments
Descriptive statistics for parametric models are currently highly sensative to departures, gross errors, and/or random errors. Here, leveraging the structures of parametric distributions and their central moment kernel distributions, a class of estimators, consistent simultanously for both a semiparametric distribution and a distinct parametric distribution, is proposed. These efficient estimators are robust to both gross errors and departures from parametric assumptions, making them ideal for …

Definable (co)homology, pro-torus rigidity, and (co)homological classification

We prove that the resulting definable homology theory provides a strictly finer invariant than Steenrod homology for compact metrizable spaces up to homotopy. In particular, we show that pro-tori are completely classified up to homeomorphism by their definable homology. This is in contrast with the fact that, for example, there exist uncountably many pairwise non-homeomorphic solen…

An Upper Bound on the Weisfeiler-Leman Dimension
The Weisfeiler-Leman (WL) dimension is a standard measure in descriptive complexity theory for the structural complexity of a graph. We prove that the WL-dimension of a graph on $n$ vertices is at most $3/20 \cdot n + o(n)= 0.15 \cdot n + o(n)$. The proof develops various techniques to analyze the structure of coherent configurations. This includes sufficient conditions under which a fiber can be restored up to isomorphism if it is removed, a recursive proof exploiting a degree reduction and …
