Using Rewarding Mechanisms for Improving Branching Heuristics
The variable branching heuristics used in the most recent and most effective SAT solvers, including zChaff and BerkMin, can be viewed as consisting of a simple mechanism for rewa...

An intrinsic reward mechanism for efficient exploration
How should a reinforcement learning agent act if its sole purpose is to efficiently learn an optimal policy for later use? In other words, how should it explore, to be able to exp...

Improving Branch Prediction and Predicated Execution in Out-of-Order Processors
If-conversion is a compiler technique that reduces the misprediction penalties caused by hard-to-predict branches, transforming control dependencies into data dependencies. Althou...

Postponing Branching Decisions
Abstract. Solution techniques for Constraint Satisfaction and Optimisation Problems often make use of backtrack search methods, exploiting variable and value ordering heuristics. I...
