DESCRIPTION:We will demonstrate the following. Category theory\, usually c

 here around us. Explicitly\, we show how it provides a kindergarten versio

  it will help Google to understand sentences given the meaning of their wo
 rds.\n\nAdmission free to CUCaTS members\, £2 otherwise. Membership may a
