Many correct-by-construction control synthesis methods suffer from the curse of dimensionality. Motivated by this challenge, we seek to reduce a correct-by-construction control synthesis problem to subproblems of more modest dimension. As a…

Compositional energy-based models can generalize to larger combinatorial reasoning problems by reusing a learned factor energy across many local constraints. In our paper, we show that a key bottleneck in compositional reasoning is not…

Symmetry reduction is a well-known approach for alleviating the state explosion problem in model checking. Automatically identifying symmetries in concurrent systems, however, is computationally expensive. We propose a symbolic framework…
