Thank you very much Mum, Dad and Sweety! And thank you Benjamin for your support and help and for your understanding of the hazards of a Ph.D. student mood... (I am glad you are nearly an urban physics expert now!) I would also like to sincerely thank my supervisors Frédéric Kuznik, Gilles Rusaouën and Julien Hans, as well as Jean-Jacques Roux and Serge Salat for their valuable advice and the discussions we had during my Ph.D. thesis and before. I also wanted to warmly thank Christian Obrecht, for his help in proof checking my manuscript and all the valuable scientific, methodological and typographic advice he gave me, as well as for his prefectionism, coffees, funny T-shirts... 42 to sum up! Thank you very much to all the members of the jury too, Bert Blocken, Marjorie Musy, Pierre Sagaut and Peter Moonen for agreeing to review and discuss my first real work as a researcher, yet an apprentice. I am very glad and honored you participated on my jury. Your comments and advice on my work will certainly be of the utmost importance for my future carrier, during which, hopefully, I will be able to discuss urban physics issues with you again. I also wanted to express my gratefulness to all the persons I met during my Ph.D., who took some of their precious time to discuss my work and give me helpful advice, even though I already mentioned some of them in the previous paragraph, especially Thijs Defraeye, Peter Moonen, Bert Blocken, Emmanuel Bozonnet and Darren Robinson. I am also grateful to the CETHIL and the CSTB for providing the financial support without which this project would not have existed. Thank you to the CETHIL members for their warm welcome during these last few years, especially Dany and Jocelyn, the directors of the lab, for making my thesis possible and their consideration for Ph.D. students. I also wanted to thank Loic for making me appreciate SSH, command lines and the other “dark sides” of my work, as well as for still talking to me despite all my requests; Eric and Etienne, for their dynamic help on Paraview, Stéphane for his precious beamer templates; and Florence, Corrine(s), Christine, Rémy and Marilyn for their administrative support. Warmest thanks to all the Ph.D. students, post-docs and interns of the lab too, especially Ro- main, Sébastien, Carolina and my work guard teddy Furby with whom I mostly shared my office, Damien, Auline, Benjamin, Leon, Kim, Christophe, Philémon, Rémi, Ali, Roula, both Matthieu(s), Virginie, Céline, Quentin, Sylvain, Wei and Zakaria, as well as the senior members, especially Stéphane(s), Olivier(s), Jacques, Damien, Agnès, Abdelkrim, Ronnie, M’hamed, Magda, Joel and the others.

  • Knowledge Representation in Bicategories of Relations
    Knowledge Representation in Bicategories of Relations Evan Patterson Department of Statistics, Stanford University Abstract We introduce the relational ontology log, or relational olog, a knowledge representation system based on the category of sets and relations. It is inspired by Spivak and Kent’s olog, a recent categorical framework for knowledge representation. Relational ologs interpolate between ologs and description logic, the dominant formalism for knowledge representation today. In this paper, we investigate relational ologs both for their own sake and to gain insight into the relationship between the algebraic and logical approaches to knowledge representation. On a practical level, we show by example that relational ologs have a friendly and intuitive—yet fully precise—graphical syntax, derived from the string diagrams of monoidal categories. We explain several other useful features of relational ologs not possessed by most description logics, such as a type system and a rich, flexible notion of instance data. In a more theoretical vein, we draw on categorical logic to show how relational ologs can be translated to and from logical theories in a fragment of first-order logic. Although we make extensive use of categorical language, this paper is designed to be self-contained and has considerable expository content. The only prerequisites are knowledge of first-order logic and the rudiments of category theory. 1. Introduction arXiv:1706.00526v2 [cs.AI] 1 Nov 2017 The representation of human knowledge in computable form is among the oldest and most fundamental problems of artificial intelligence.

Using Category Theory to facilitate multiple manufacturing service portal integration Abstract The goal of this paper is to illustrate the use of category theory as a basis for the integration of supply chain databases. We begin by discussing existing work on using OWL ontologies to integrate supply chain databases. In this paper we use as our reference prior work by Kolvatunyu et.al (2013) on the use of OWL-based semantic web tools to study the integration of different manufacturing service capability (MSC) databases using a generic-model approach that they propose in their paper. We approach the same task using a different set of tools, specifically category theory and FQL, a functorial query language based on categorical mathematics.

Contact: [email protected] Writing an Important Body of Scholarship: A Proposal for an Embodied Rhetoric of Professional Practice Jane E. Hindman I begin my reasoning and reflecting (as I almost always do) in the throes of contradiction. On this occasion, the inconsistency concerns our profes sional standing. I'm not gesturing to the oft-mentioned conflict between our institutional status as gatekeepers of Standard Written English and our disciplinary claim to be oppositional intellectuals. That paradox does indeed deserve attention and plays a significant role in my inquiry, but as a point of departure I want to explore a puzzling discrepancy between the content of our disciplinary arguments and the discursive moves that enable them. My hope is that the exploration will reveal the ideological constraints of the abstract, rationalist, disembodied rhetoric our profes sion usually demands. Since it is by definition constrained by the logic of noncontradiction and by professional standards, that rhetoric mystifies the professional practices that authorize it. Such mystification of our discourse renders us vulnerable to Jack Selzer's charge that "the relationship of rhetorical events to the material world that sustains and produces them has not often enough been fully elaborated or clearly articulated" (9).

The information gathered will be used to analyze museum practice in these areas, and situate them within the context of the burgeoning “Open Access” movement. I am hoping that I might have approximately ten minutes of your time to complete the enclosed survey. The data collected from this survey will be used for the completion of a Master of Arts degree in Museum Studies at San Francisco State University. You have been contacted because you are a registrar or information manager working with collections at an AAM-accredited Art Museum. If you agree to complete the survey, please understand that any information provided by you may appear in the final written thesis. However, note that you need not supply any information on the response that links your museum to the survey.

  • Gene Ologs: a Categorical Framework for Gene Ontology
    Gene ologs: a categorical framework for Gene Ontology Yanying Wu∗1,2 1Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour, University of Oxford, UK 2Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, University of Oxford, UK Sept 26, 2019 Abstract Gene Ontology (GO) is the most important resource for gene func- tion annotation. It provides a way to unify biological knowledge across different species via a dynamic and controlled vocabulary. GO is now widely represented in the Semantic Web standard Web Ontology Lan- guage (OWL). OWL renders a rich logic constructs to GO but also has its limitations. On the other hand, olog is a different language for on- tology and it is based on category theory. Due to its solid mathematical background, olog can be rigorously formulated yet considerably expres- sive. These advantages make ologs complementary, if not better than, OWL. We therefore think it worthwhile to adopt ologs for GO and took an initial step in this work. arXiv:1909.11210v1 [q-bio.GN] 24 Sep 2019 ∗[email protected] 1 Introduction Despite the amazing diversity of life forms on earth, genomic sequencing revealed that many genes are actually conserved among different species. Therefore our knowledge of gene functions for one species can be transformed to another. How- ever, using natural language to describe gene function causes misunderstanding and thus is unsuitable for such knowledge transferring. Gene Ontology (GO) was created to fill in the gap. GO produces a set of dynamic controlled vo- cabulary for the annotation of gene functions, so that our understanding of different biological systems can be shared and communicated.
