This habilitation thesis is intended to be a good introduction to enumeration, the problem of listing solutions. It focuses on the different ways of measuring complexity in enumeration, with a particular emphasis on my contributions to the…
We analyze how symmetries can be used to compress structures (also known as interpretations) onto a smaller domain without loss of information. This analysis suggests the possibility to solve satisfiability problems in the compressed domain…
The Internet has led to a dramatic increase in the amount of available information. In this context, reading and understanding this flow of information have become costly tasks. In the last years, to assist people to understand textual…
We characterize exactly the compactness properties of the product of \kappa\ copies of the space \omega\ with the discrete topology. The characterization involves uniform ultrafilters, infinitary languages, and the existence of nonstandard…
Belief tracking is a basic problem in planning with sensing. While the problem is intractable, it has been recently shown that for both deterministic and non-deterministic systems expressed in compact form, it can be done in time and space…
In this paper, we address the problem of searching for semantically similar images from a large database. We present a compact coding approach, supervised quantization. Our approach simultaneously learns feature selection that linearly…
Finding Minimal Unsatisfiable Subsets (MUSes) of binary constraints is a common problem in infeasibility analysis of over-constrained systems. However, because of the exponential search space of the problem, enumerating MUSes is extremely…
We revisit the definition of effective local compactness, and propose an approach that works for arbitrary countably-based spaces extending the previous work on computable metric spaces. We use this to show that effective local compactness…
It is shown that space-time may possess the differentiability properties of manifolds as well as the ultraviolet finiteness properties of lattices. Namely, if a field's amplitudes are given on any sufficiently dense set of discrete points…
The survey is devoted to the combinatorial and metric theory of filtrations, i.\,e., decreasing sequences of $\sigma$-algebras in measure spaces or decreasing sequences of subalgebras of certain algebras. One of the key notions, that of…
A great deal of effort is currently being devoted to understanding, estimating and removing systematic errors in cosmological data. In the particular case of type Ia supernovae, systematics are starting to dominate the error budget. Here we…
Statistical topic models efficiently facilitate the exploration of large-scale data sets. Many models have been developed and broadly used to summarize the semantic structure in news, science, social media, and digital humanities. However,…
We present a Julia package, DisjunctiveProgramming.jl, that extends the functionality in JuMP.jl to allow modeling problems via logical propositions and disjunctive constraints. Such models can then be reformulated into Mixed-Integer…
Even though query evaluation is a fundamental task in databases, known classifications of conjunctive queries by their fine-grained complexity only apply to queries without self-joins. We study how self-joins affect enumeration complexity,…
Motivated by a historical combinatorial problem that resembles the well-known Josephus problem, we investigate circular partition algorithms and formulate problems in deterministic finite automata with practical algorithms. The historical…
A co-valuation is, essentially, a minimal finite cover. We introduce a logic based on co-valuations, which play the role of valuations of free variables in classical first-order logic, and show that the fundamental tools of model theory --…
Combining a standard proof search method, such as resolution or tableaux, and rewriting is a powerful way to cut off search space in automated theorem proving, but proving the completeness of such combined methods may be challenging. It may…
Today, huge amounts of data are being collected with spatial and temporal components from sources such as meteorological, satellite imagery etc. Efficient visualisation as well as discovery of useful knowledge from these datasets is…
This Survey provides an overview of techniques in termination analysis for programs with numerical variables and transitions defined by linear constraints. This subarea of program analysis is challenging due to the existence of undecidable…
Topic models provide a useful method for dimensionality reduction and exploratory data analysis in large text corpora. Most approaches to topic model inference have been based on a maximum likelihood objective. Efficient algorithms exist…
