We present a simple probabilistic algorithm for solving kSAT, and more generally, for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). The algorithm follows a simple localsearch pa...
Many real-world problems are characterized by complex relational structure, which can be succinctly represented in firstorder logic. However, many relational inference algorithms ...
We demonstrate hardness results for the detection of small backdoor sets with respect to base classes Mr of CNF formulas with maximum deficiency ≤ r (M0 is the class of matched...
This paper addresses a novel linear programming based approach to optimize the choice of the encoding parameters for the MPEG-4 AAC audio codec. Current techniques solve the encod...
The “XL-algorithm” is a computational method to solve overdetermined systems of polynomial equations which is based on a generalization of the well-known method of linearizatio...
