Notes & comments

The key parameters for the code in this section are:

  • domain: The finite set of entities used to evaluate quantifiers. It must include the people and books so that every and a can range over them.
  • students, books, reads, likes: The lexical denotations as Python sets and relations. Changing a relation can change the truth value of the composed formula without changing its syntactic form.
  • constants: The mapping from constant names to Python values, including predicates and the generalized quantifiers every and a.
  • threshold: The integer extracted from the number word in the question and passed as a SQL parameter to the HAVING clause.
  • vocab and allowed_sets: The decoding vocabulary and the per-step grammar constraints used to build the binary mask.
  • mask: The binary allowed-token matrix, with one row per decoding step and one column per vocabulary token.
