Finite Type EnhancementsAbstract: We enhance the biquandle counting invariant using elements of truncated biquandle-labeled Polyak algebras. These finite type enhancements reduce to the finite type enhancements defined by Goussarov, Polyak and Viro for the trivial biquandle of one element and determine (but are not determined by) the biquandle counting invariant for general biquandles. Unlike the unlabeled case, biquandle labeled finite type invariants of degree 1 are nontrivial and are related to biquandle cocycle invariants.
