Term-Graph Anti-Unification

Authors: Alexander Baumgartner, Temur Kutsia, Jordi Levy, and Mateu Villaret

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 108, 3rd International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2018)

Abstract
We study anti-unification for possibly cyclic, unranked term-graphs and develop an algorithm, which computes a minimal complete set of generalizations for them. For bisimilar graphs the algorithm computes the join in the lattice generated by a functional bisimulation. These results generalize anti-unification for ranked and unranked terms to the corresponding term-graphs, and solve also anti-unification problems for rational terms and dags. Our results open a way to widen anti-unification based code clone detection techniques from a tree representation to a graph representation of the code.

Nominal Anti-Unification

Authors: Alexander Baumgartner, Temur Kutsia, Jordi Levy, and Mateu Villaret

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 36, 26th International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications (RTA 2015)

Abstract
We study nominal anti-unification, which is concerned with computing least general generalizations for given terms-in-context. In general, the problem does not have a least general solution, but if the set of atoms permitted in generalizations is finite, then there exists a least general generalization which is unique modulo variable renaming and alpha-equivalence. We present an algorithm that computes it. The algorithm relies on a subalgorithm that constructively decides equivariance between two terms-in-context. We prove soundness and completeness properties of both algorithms and analyze their complexity. Nominal anti-unification can be applied to problems where generalization of first-order terms is needed (inductive learning, clone detection, etc.), but bindings are involved.

A Variant of Higher-Order Anti-Unification

Authors: Alexander Baumgartner, Temur Kutsia, Jordi Levy, and Mateu Villaret

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 21, 24th International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications (RTA 2013)

Abstract
We present a rule-based Huet's style anti-unification algorithm for simply-typed lambda-terms in eta-long beta-normal form, which computes a least general higher-order pattern generalization. For a pair of arbitrary terms of the same type, such a generalization always exists and is unique modulo alpha-equivalence and variable renaming. The algorithm computes it in cubic time within linear space. It has been implemented and the code is freely available.
