We consider random instances of constraint satisfaction problems where each variable has domain size O(1), each constraint is on O(1) variables and the constraints are chosen from...
Motivation: Motif detection for DNA sequences has many important applications in biological studies, e.g., locating binding sites and regulatory signals, and designing genetic prob...
Many recommendation and retrieval tasks can be represented as proximity queries on a labeled directed graph, with typed nodes representing documents, terms, and metadata, and labe...
Abstract. This paper discusses an NP-complete constraint satisfaction problem which appears to share many of the threshold characteristics of SAT but is similar to XOR-SAT and so i...
Searches that include both feasible and infeasible solutions have proved to be efficient algorithms for solving some scheduling problems. Researchers conjecture that these algorit...
