If you have a question about this talk, please contact Ian Orton.

I will start with the category of sets and relations, and show how from it we can derive a model for the functional language PCF . I will then present a generalised version of the model where morphisms carry weights. In this new category we can give semantics to extensions of PCF with various additional features, for example probabilistic or non-deterministic primitives.

It will be helpful to know some category theory and be familiar with basic operational semantics of programming languages.
