一句话:研究给 Gödel T 加入不同概率选择算子后的表达力,证明它们均几乎必然终止但可生成不同的分布类。

本文研究子递归高阶概率演算的表达能力。作者在 Gödel T 这类极具表达力的确定型演算上加入多种概率选择算子,考察所得演算能否生成相同的分布类;结果显示,尽管所有演算都保证几乎必然终止,不同选择算子所定义的分布类并不等价。方法上,作者引入经典可归约性(reducibility)技术的概率变体,并用它证明最简单的概率选择并不改变 T 的本质表达力。最后,在标准观察下,这些演算在函数表达力上仍都对应 T 所表示的函数。

问题
在子递归高阶演算中,不同概率选择算子如何影响可生成的分布类与函数表达力?
方法
在 Gödel T 上加入多种概率选择算子,引入经典可归约性技术的概率变体来比较演算的表达力。
评估
通过理论证明表明:各演算均保证几乎必然终止,但分布类可能不等价;最简单的概率选择不改变 T 的表达力,函数表达力仍与 T 一致。
原文摘要(Abstract)

We study the expressive power of subrecursive probabilistic higher-order calculi. More specifically, we show that endowing a very expressive deterministic calculus like G\"odel's $\mathbb{T}$ with various forms of probabilistic choice operators may result in calculi which are not equivalent as for the class of distributions they give rise to, although they all guarantee almost-sure termination. Along the way, we introduce a probabilistic variation of the classic reducibility technique, and we prove that the simplest form of probabilistic choice leaves the expressive power of $\mathbb{T}$ essentially unaltered. The paper ends with some observations about the functional expressive power: expectedly, all the considered calculi capture the functions which $\mathbb{T}$ itself represents, at least when standard notions of observations are considered.
