Title: Gauss diagram formulas for the HOMFLYPT.

Abstract:
Any finite type knot invariant can be expressed by a Gauss diagram formula
which counts some "subdiagrams" of the Gauss diagram. I will describe such
formulas for invariants coming from the HOMFLYPT polynomial. Joint work   
with Michael Polyak.
