Math Working Group,

Greetings.  In an earlier discussion, described were "machine learning components which output a heuristic or mapping between two domains of trees, outputting an abstract syntax tree describing logical processing upon the input trees and other typographical parameters.  The situation could be described as inducing tree transformations, inducing tree-based automata or transducers, or, generically, inductive logical programming.  Additionally, for a constant mapping, the topic could be phrased as inducing parameters per box depending upon the layout tree's box model."
