The maximum common subtree isomorphism problem asks for the largest possible isomorphism between subtrees of two given input trees. This problem is a natural restriction of the maximum common subgraph problem, which is ${\sf NP}$-hard in…
Once-for-All (OFA) is a Neural Architecture Search (NAS) framework designed to address the problem of searching efficient architectures for devices with different resources constraints by decoupling the training and the searching stages.…
Recent work proposed the UCTMAXSAT algorithm to address Maximum Satisfiability Problems (MaxSAT) and shown improved performance over pure Stochastic Local Search algorithms (SLS). UCTMAXSAT is based on Monte Carlo Tree Search but it uses…
A layerwise search in a split-by-edges tree (as defined by Br{\ae}ndeland, 2015) of agiven graph produces a maximum independent set in exponential time. A depth-first search produces an independent set, which may or may not be a maximum, in…
Pre-trained language models (PLMs) have achieved great success in natural language processing. Most of PLMs follow the default setting of architecture hyper-parameters (e.g., the hidden dimension is a quarter of the intermediate dimension…
Various model-based diagnosis scenarios require the computation of the most preferred fault explanations. Existing algorithms that are sound (i.e., output only actual fault explanations) and complete (i.e., can return all explanations),…
In this paper, we propose a depth-first search (DFS) algorithm for searching maximum matchings in general graphs. Unlike blossom shrinking algorithms, which store all possible alternative alternating paths in the super-vertices shrunk from…
A* is one of the most popular Best First Search (BFS) techniques for graphs. It combines the cost-based search of Breadth First Search with a computed heuristic for each node to attempt to locate the goal path faster than traditional…
Heuristic search has traditionally relied on hand-crafted or programmatically derived heuristics. Neural networks (NNs) are newer powerful tools which can be used to learn complex mappings from states to cost-to-go heuristics. However,…
In tree search problem the best-first search algorithm needs too much of space . To remove such drawbacks of these algorithms the IDA* was developed which is both space and time cost efficient. But again IDA* can give an optimal solution…
Given a graph, the minimum dominating set (MinDS) problem is to identify a smallest set $D$ of vertices such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. The MinDS problem is a classic $\mathcal{NP}$-hard problem…
There is no free lunch, no single learning algorithm that will outperform other algorithms on all data. In practice different approaches are tried and the best algorithm selected. An alternative solution is to build new algorithms on demand…
We present an extension of Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) that strongly increases its efficiency for trees with asymmetry and/or loops. Asymmetric termination of search trees introduces a type of uncertainty for which the standard upper…
Subspace clustering aims to find groups of similar objects (clusters) that exist in lower dimensional subspaces from a high dimensional dataset. It has a wide range of applications, such as analysing high dimensional sensor data or DNA…
The efficiency of any metaheuristic algorithm largely depends on the way of balancing local intensive exploitation and global diverse exploration. Studies show that bat algorithm can provide a good balance between these two key components…

Retrosynthetic planning is a critical task in organic chemistry which identifies a series of reactions that can lead to the synthesis of a target product. The vast number of possible chemical transformations makes the size of the search…
Best subset selection is considered the `gold standard' for many sparse learning problems. A variety of optimization techniques have been proposed to attack this non-convex and NP-hard problem. In this paper, we investigate the dual forms…
Binary search trees (BSTs) are one of the most basic and widely used data structures. The best static tree for serving a sequence of queries (searches) can be computed by dynamic programming. In contrast, when the BSTs are allowed to be…
