BreakID: Static Symmetry Breaking for ASP (System Description)

Artificial Intelligence 2016-08-31 v1

Abstract

Symmetry breaking has been proven to be an efficient preprocessing technique for satisfiability solving (SAT). In this paper, we port the state-of-the-art SAT symmetry breaker BreakID to answer set programming (ASP). The result is a lightweight tool that can be plugged in between the grounding and the solving phases that are common when modelling in ASP. We compare our tool with sbass, the current state-of-the-art symmetry breaker for ASP.
