On Generators of Random Quasigroup Problems
Problems that can be sampled randomly are a good source of test suites for comparing quality of constraint satisfaction techniques. Quasigroup problems are representatives of struc...

Conditional hardness for satisfiable 3-CSPs
In this paper we study a fundamental open problem in the area of probabilistic checkable proofs: What is the smallest s such that NP naPCP1,s[O(log n), 3]? In the language of har...

Dynamic Constraint Weighting for Over-Constrained Problems
Many real-world constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) can be over-constrained but contain a set of mandatory or hard constraints that have to be satisfied for a solution to be ac...

Tight Bounds on the Approximability of Almost-satisfiable Horn SAT and Exact Hitting Set}
We study the approximability of two natural Boolean constraint satisfaction problems: Horn satisfiability and exact hitting set. Under the Unique Games conjecture, we prove the fo...

Hybrid tractability of soft constraint problems
The constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a central generic problem in artificial intelligence. Considerable effort has been made in identifying properties which ensure tractabi...
