Propositional model counting (#SAT) can be solved efficiently when the input formula is in deterministic decomposable negation normal form (d-DNNF). Translating an arbitrary formula into a representation that allows inference tasks, such as…
In Knowledge Compilation (KC) a propositional knowledge base is compiled off-line into some target form, typically into deterministic decomposable negation normal form (d-DNNF) or one of its subcases, which is then used on-line to answer a…
One of the most important queries in knowledge compilation is weighted model counting (WMC), which has been applied to probabilistic inference on various models, such as Bayesian networks. In practical situations on inference tasks, the…

Weighted model counting (WMC) consists of computing the weighted sum of all satisfying assignments of a propositional formula. WMC is well-known to be #P-hard for exact solving, but admits a fully polynomial randomized approximation scheme…

Model counting is the problem of computing the number of satisfying assignments of a given propositional formula. Although exact model counters can be naturally furnished by most of the knowledge compilation (KC) methods, in practice, they…

Selman and Kautz's work on ``knowledge compilation'' established how approximation (strengthening and/or weakening) of a propositional knowledge-base can be used to speed up query processing, at the expense of completeness. In this…
Conformal prediction quantifies the uncertainty of machine learning models by augmenting point predictions with valid prediction sets. For complex scenarios involving multiple trials, models, or data sources, conformal prediction sets can…

Bottom-up knowledge compilation is a paradigm for generating representations of functions by iteratively conjoining constraints using a so-called apply function. When the input is not efficiently compilable into a language - generally a…
