QUICKXPLAIN: Preferred Explanations and Relaxations for Over-Constrained Problems
Over-constrained problems can have an exponential number of conflicts, which explain the failure, and an exponential number of relaxations, which restore the consistency. A user o...

Logic Programs with Abstract Constraint Atoms
We propose and study extensions of logic programming with constraints represented as generalized atoms of the form C(X), where X is a finite set of atoms and C is act constraint (...

Arc minimization in finite-state decoding graphs with cross-word acoustic context
Recent approaches to large vocabulary decoding with finite state graphs have focused on the use of state minimization algorithms to produce relatively compact graphs. This paper e...

Optimal Inapproximability Results for Max-Cut and Other 2-Variable CSPs?
In this paper we show a reduction from the Unique Games problem to the problem of approximating MAX-CUT to within a factor of GW + , for all > 0; here GW .878567 denotes the a...
