Viz: a visual analysis suite for explaining local search behavior
NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems are common in real life. Due to their intractability, local search algorithms are often used to solve such problems. Since these algori...

Indexing Internal Memory with Minimal Perfect Hash Functions
A perfect hash function (PHF) is an injective function that maps keys from a set S to unique values, which are in turn used to index a hash table. Since no collisions occur, each k...

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...
