はじめに週末だけ進める研究では、実験そのものより、前回の状態を思い出して再開する作業が地味にストレスです。そこで今回は、Codex を研究のループに入れ、公開情報の調査、既存手法の実装、比較実験、記録までを進めてみました。題材は DCASE 2026 Challenge Task 2 です。実験内容の詳細は割愛し、この記事では、Codex に何を任せ、研究の続きをどう翌週へつないだかに絞ります。目

int-index: > we could start with a Core that simply adds `foreach` and `dcase` * Adding `foreach` requires a change to `Type`, but that seems to be less controversial as required type arguments also needed to change that. * And `dcase` is just a case expression where every constructor gets an extra evidence argument which does not actually require changing the `Expr` type at all (only how it is used). Perhaps we could add a Bool flag (like we did for join points) to make it clearer when it is a dependent match. * I’m not sure if we need to add new coercion forms. So maybe this is not a very large change at all?

> Hmm. This conversation has proved rather insightful. I think I now realise what Conor was hinting at. Indeed, we could start with a Core that simply adds `foreach` and `dcase`, then work on combining terms and types afterwards. Interesting. Maybe (no rush) you could spell out what (precisely) Core would look like with these extensions. And before we get to extending Core, it’d be good to get to a stable fixpoint where we have fleshed out all the corners of DH-without-foreach. You are busy doing that (required type arguments etc etc), which is fantastic. But I don’t have a clear idea of what remains to be done. One thing is * Combine HsType and HsExpr But there is probably more. Where’s the canonical place to look? Thanks for your patient and careful work on this long project!
