Abstract—

This article describes a category theoretic approach to projections of semilattices as an alternative to the classic approach of pattern structure projections. In the special case of Cartesian products and their projections on partial sub-products, this approach forms the basis for a sequential version of the VKF machine learning method that is based on a binary similarity operation.
