A non-binary Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) can be solved directly using extended versions of binary techniques. Alternatively, the non-binary problem can be translated into an equivalent binary one. In this case, it is generally…
Random constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) such as random $3$-SAT are conjectured to be computationally intractable. The average case hardness of random $3$-SAT and other CSPs has broad and far-reaching implications on problems in…
A unary constraint (on the Boolean domain) is a function from {0,1} to the set of real numbers. A free use of auxiliary unary constraints given besides input instances has proven to be useful in establishing a complete classification of the…
In this paper, we explore the automation of services' compositions. We focus on the service selection problem. In the formulation that we consider, the problem's inputs are constituted by a behavioral composition whose abstract services…
CP has a natural embedding in superstring models as a gauge symmetry involving inversion of the compactified space. Hence the source of CP violation could be geometrical. Such models face the problem of how to suppress contributions to…
In this paper we provide an extended formulation for the class of constraint satisfaction problems and prove that its size is polynomial for instances whose constraint graph has bounded treewidth. This implies new upper bounds on extension…
We show that for one-shot problems - problems where a processor executes a single operation-execution - timing constraints can be captured by conditions on the relation between original outputs and supplementary snapshots. In addition to…
Process algebra CSP only permits a process to engage in one event on a moment and records this single event into the traces of the process. CSP cannot process events simultaneously, it treat the events occurred simultaneously as one single…
We prove upper and lower bounds for the threshold of the q-overlap-k-Exact cover problem. These results are motivated by the one-step replica symmetry breaking approach of Statistical Physics, and the hope of using an approach based on that…
The Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is a problem of computing a homomorphism $\mathbf{R}\to \mathbf{\Gamma}$ between two relational structures, where $\mathbf{R}$ is defined over a domain $V$ and $\mathbf{\Gamma}$ is defined over a…
Symmetries in discrete constraint satisfaction problems have been explored and exploited in the last years, but symmetries in continuous constraint problems have not received the same attention. Here we focus on permutations of the…
In an era where big and high-dimensional data is readily available, data scientists are inevitably faced with the challenge of reducing this data for expensive downstream computation or analysis. To this end, we present here a new method…
Large-scale eigenvalue problems arise in various fields of science and engineering and demand computationally efficient solutions. In this study, we investigate the subspace approximation for parametric linear eigenvalue problems, aiming to…
Addressed is the question of whether a natural mechanism exists to resolve the strong CP problem. The analogous issue for the two-dimensional $CP^{N-1}$ models is analyzed using computer simulations.
Crossp-roject defect prediction (CPDP), where data from different software projects are used to predict defects, has been proposed as a way to provide data for software projects that lack historical data. Evaluations of CPDP models using…
Counterfactual explanations enhance the interpretability of deep learning models in medical imaging, yet adapting them to 3D CT scans poses challenges due to volumetric complexity and resource demands. We extend the Latent Shift…
A conservative class of constraint satisfaction problems CSPs is a class for which membership is preserved under arbitrary domain reductions. Many well-known tractable classes of CSPs are conservative. It is well known that lexleader…
Copies have been proposed as a viable alternative to endow machine learning models with properties and features that adapt them to changing needs. A fundamental step of the copying process is generating an unlabelled set of points to…
A variant of the well-known Set Covering Problem is studied in this paper, where subsets of a collection have to be selected, and pairwise conflicts among subsets of items exist. The selection of each subset has a cost, and the inclusion of…
The degree of a CSP instance is the maximum number of times that any variable appears in the scopes of constraints. We consider the approximate counting problem for Boolean CSP with bounded-degree instances, for constraint languages…
