商品描述
New scientific paradigms typically consist of an expansion of the conceptual language with which we describe the world. Over the past decade, theoretical physics and quantum information theory have turned to category theory to model and reason about quantum protocols. This new use of
categorical and algebraic tools allows a more conceptual and insightful expression of elementary events such as measurements, teleportation and entanglement operations, that were obscured in previous formalisms.
Recent work in natural language semantics has begun to use these categorical methods to relate grammatical analysis and semantic representations in a unified framework for analysing language meaning, and learning meaning from a corpus. A growing body of literature on the use of categorical methods
in quantum information theory and computational linguistics shows both the need and opportunity for new research on the relation between these categorical methods and the abstract notion of information flow.
This book supplies an overview of how categorical methods are used to model information flow in both physics and linguistics. It serves as an introduction to this interdisciplinary research, and provides a basis for future research and collaboration between the different communities interested in
applying category theoretic methods to their domain's open problems.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
新科學範式通常由擴展我們描述世界的概念語言組成。在過去十年中，理論物理學和量子資訊理論已轉向範疇理論，以建模和推理量子協議。這種對範疇和代數工具的新用法，使得對於測量、傳送和糾纏操作等基本事件的表達更加概念化和深入，這些事件在以往的形式中被模糊化了。
最近在自然語言語義學的研究中，開始使用這些範疇方法來將語法分析和語義表示關聯在一個統一的框架中，以分析語言意義並從語料庫中學習意義。越來越多的文獻顯示，範疇方法在量子資訊理論和計算語言學中的應用，顯示出對於這些範疇方法與抽象的資訊流概念之間關係的新研究的需求和機會。
本書提供了範疇方法如何用於建模物理學和語言學中的資訊流的概述。它作為這一跨學科研究的入門，並為未來在不同社群之間的研究和合作提供了基礎，這些社群對於將範疇理論方法應用於其領域的開放問題感興趣。
作者簡介
Dr Heunen is a mathematical physicist with an interest in logic. He obtained his PhD in mathematics and computer science at the University of Nijmegen in 2009. Currently he works as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford.
Dr Sadrzadeh works on computational logical modelling and reasoning and their applications to natural language syntax and semantics. Her graduate studies in Computer Software Engineering, Logic, and Philosophy, were done in Universities of Sharif (in Iran), Ottawa and Quebec at Montreal (UQAM), and
Oxford, where she was an academic visitor for half of the duration of her PhD and then an EPSRC Postdoctoral Fellow and where she is currently working as an EPSRC Career Acceleration Fellow.
Mr Grefenstette is finishing a DPhil in Computer Science on the topic of exploiting category-theoretic methods from quantum information theory to add compositionality to distributional semantic models of natural language. He has a background in Physics (University of Sheffield, UK) and Philosophy
(University of St Andrews, UK). He will be continuing his work on compositionality and semantics in Oxford as a postdoc, starting in Autumn 2012.

赫農博士是一位對邏輯感興趣的數學物理學家。他於2009年在奈梅亨大學獲得數學和計算機科學的博士學位。目前，他在牛津大學擔任博士後研究員。
薩德拉扎德博士專注於計算邏輯建模和推理，以及它們在自然語言語法和語義中的應用。她的研究生學習包括計算機軟體工程、邏輯和哲學，分別在伊朗的沙里夫大學、渥太華大學和蒙特利爾的魁北克大學（UQAM）以及牛津大學進行，其中在牛津大學的博士學位期間有一半時間作為學術訪客，之後成為EPSRC博士後研究員，目前擔任EPSRC職業加速研究員。
格雷芬斯特特先生正在完成一篇關於利用量子信息理論中的範疇理論方法來為自然語言的分佈語義模型增加組合性的計算機科學DPhil論文。他擁有物理學（英國謝菲爾德大學）和哲學（英國聖安德魯斯大學）的背景。他將於2012年秋季在牛津大學作為博士後繼續從事組合性和語義的研究。
