Learning the Large-Scale Structure of the MAX-SAT Landscape Using Populations
A new algorithm for solving MAX-SAT problems is introduced which clusters good solutions, and restarts the search from the closest feasible solution to the centroid of each cluster...

Backbone Guided Local Search for Maximum Satisfiability
Maximum satisfiability (Max-SAT) is more general and more difficult to solve than satisfiability (SAT). In this paper, we first investigate the effectiveness of Walksat, one of th...

Evolving Variable-Ordering Heuristics for Constrained Optimisation
In this paper we present and evaluate an evolutionary approach for learning new constraint satisfaction algorithms, specifically for MAX-SAT optimisation problems. Our approach of...

Relaxed Survey Propagation: A Sum-Product Algorithm for Max-SAT
The survey propagation (SP) algorithm has been shown to work well on large instances of the random 3-SAT problem near its phase transition. It was shown that SP estimates marginal...
