Layered critical values: a powerful direct-adjustment approach to discovering significant patterns
Standard pattern discovery techniques, such as association rules, suffer an extreme risk of finding very large numbers of spurious patterns for many knowledge discovery tasks. The...

Variable space search for graph coloring
Let G = (V, E) be a graph with vertex set V and edge set E. The k-coloring problem is to assign a color (a number chosen in {1, . . . , k}) to each vertex of G so that no edge has...

Evaluating and Improving Modern Variable and Revision Ordering Strategies in CSPs
A key factor that can dramatically reduce the search space during constraint solving is the criterion under which the variable to be instantiated next is selected. For this purpos...

A search space "cartography" for guiding graph coloring heuristics
We present a search space analysis and its application in improving local search algorithms for the graph coloring problem. Using a classical distance measure between colorings, w...
