We show how to extend System F’s parametricity guarantee to a multi-language system in the style of Matthews and Findler that combines System F with an untyped language by use of dynamic sealing. While the use of sealing for this purpose has been suggested before, it has never been proven to preserve parametricity. In this paper we prove that it does using step-indexed logical relations. Note: ...

We investigate grammatical error detection in spoken language, and present a data-driven method to train a dependency parser to automatically identify and label grammatical errors. This method is agnostic to the label set used, and the only manual annotations needed for training are grammatical error labels. We find that the proposed system is robust to disfluencies, so that a separate stage to...

While sharing data within this new 'economy' provides many potential advantages, the sharing of individual data raises important social and ethical concerns. We examine ongoing development of one technology, DataSHIELD, which appears to elide privacy concerns about sharing data ...
