Algebraic anti-unification

ArXi:2407.15510v2 Announce Type: replace Abstraction is key to human and artificial intelligence as it allows one to identify common structure in otherwise distinct objects or situations. Anti-unification (or generalization) is the branch of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence that studies abstraction and has found applications in areas such as inductive logic programming, program synthesis, and analogy-making. To date, anti-unification has been studied almost exclusively from a syntactic perspective.
