Model theory

Interpretation (model theory)

In model theory, interpretation of a structure M in another structure N (typically of a different signature) is a technical notion that approximates the idea of representing M inside N. For example every reduct or definitional expansion of a structure N has an interpretation in N. Many model-theoretic properties are preserved under interpretability. For example if the theory of N is stable and M is interpretable in N, then the theory of M is also stable. Note that in other areas of mathematical logic, the term "interpretation" may refer to a structure, rather than being used in the sense defined here. These two notions of "interpretation" are related but nevertheless distinct. (Wikipedia).

Model Theory - part 03 - Terms, Formulas, Sequents

He we are a little bit more precise about keeping track of what fragments of formal languages we are using. This becomes relevant when you want to interpret them later. Caramello's book was useful in preparing this. We also found the post on nCatLab useful.

Stanford Seminar - ML Explainability Part 4 I Evaluating Model Interpretations/Explanations

Professor Hima Lakkaraju describes how explanation methods can be compared and evaluated. Interpretability evaluation techniques range from the highly quantitative, where interpretability is replaced with a metric such as the number of rules or parameters, to qualitative where humans are a

These are the categories where functors from these dudes are models... these take forever to define. On top of it, these end up just being friggin' definable sets and definable morphisms!! I remember being a place in here where there is a diagram which i say commutes but I need to actually
