Abstract
We present a theoretically founded framework for fuzzy
unification and resolution based on edit distance over trees.
Our framework extends classical unification and resolution
conservatively. We prove important properties of the framework
and develop the FURY system, which implements the
framework efficiently using dynamic programming. We
evaluate the framework and system on a large problem in
the bioinformatics domain, that of detecting typographical
errors in an enzyme name databas
