We present a fast and scalable algorithm to induce non-monotonic logic programs from statistical learning models. We reduce the problem of search for best clauses to instances of the High-Utility Itemset Mining (HUIM) problem. In the HUIM…
Automated scientific discovery using large language models relies on identifying genuinely novel solutions. Standard reinforcement learning penalizes high-variance mutations, which leads the policy to prioritize familiar patterns. As a…
The set of answers to a query may be very large, potentially overwhelming users when presented with the entire set. In such cases, presenting only a small subset of the answers to the user may be preferable. A natural requirement for this…
Let $T$ be a matrix whose entries are linear forms over the noncommutative variables $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n$. The noncommutative Edmonds' problem (NSINGULAR) aims to determine whether $T$ is invertible in the free skew field generated by…

We introduce a problem class we call Polynomial Constraint Satisfaction Problems, or PCSP. Where the usual CSPs from computer science and optimization have real-valued score functions, and partition functions from physics have monomials,…
The intention of this note is two-fold. First, we study integer optimization problems in standard form defined by $A \in\mathbb{Z}^{m\times{}n}$ and present an algorithm to solve such problems in polynomial-time provided that both the…
Bilevel linear programming (LP) is one of the simplest classes of bilevel optimization problems, yet it is known to be NP-hard in general. Specifically, determining whether the optimal objective value of a bilevel LP is at least as good as…
