Information Algebras and Their Applications

In this lecture we will present joint work with Ryan Thorngren on thermodynamic semirings and entropy operads, with Nicolas Tedeschi on Birkhoff factorization in thermodynamic semirings, ongoing work with Marcus Bintz on tropicalization of Feynman graph hypersurfaces and Potts model hypersurfaces, and their thermodynamic deformations, and ongoing work by the author on applications of thermodynamic semirings to models of morphology and syntax in Computational Linguistics.
