Bridging the gap between humans and computers
The Information Logic Lab conducts research aimed at bridging the gap between humans and computers in programming.
Writing code in a way that suits humans puts a burden on the computer, while writing it in a way that suits the computer puts a burden on humans.
To address this, the lab works on program transformation, which derives computer-oriented descriptions from human-oriented ones, and program verification, which guarantees that programs match their intended behavior.
Centered on formal tree language theory, the lab also carries out research using proof assistants.
Key terms
- Formal tree language theory
- A theory that deals with structures abstracting programs and computation. It is based on tree automata and similar models
- Program transformation
- A method of deriving computer-oriented descriptions from human-oriented ones
- Proof assistant
- A tool used in research to verify the correctness of theories
ResearchResearch themes
The ultimate goal of the lab is to bridge the gap between humans and computers in programming. The lab works on program transformation, which derives computer-oriented descriptions from human-oriented ones, and on program verification, which guarantees that computer-oriented descriptions match human intentions.
*Illustrative imageResearch on formal tree language theory
Based on theories such as tree automata and tree transducers, the lab develops frameworks for deriving efficient programs and for guaranteeing the properties of computation that programmers want. To confirm the correctness of the theory, it also uses tools called proof assistants.
*Illustrative imageProgramming language semantics
The lab performs abstraction that preserves the full meaning of programs, then analyzes it mathematically to reveal the essence of the language in question. It applies denotational, operational, axiomatic, and categorical semantics, among others, to the theoretical design of languages and to program verification.
