Generalised Model Finding (GMF) is a quantier instantiation heuristic for the superposition calculus in the presence of interpreted theories with nitely quantied free function symbols ranging into theory sorts. The free function symbols are approximated by nite partial function graphs along with simplifying assumptions which are iteratively rened. Here we present an outline of the GMF approach, give an improvement that addresses some eciency issues and then present some ideas for extending it with concepts from instantiation based theorem proving.
