The tractability conjecture for finite domain Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) stated that such CSPs are solvable in polynomial time whenever there is no natural reduction, in some precise technical sense, from the 3-SAT problem;…
Domain reduction is an essential tool for solving the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). In the binary CSP, neighbourhood substitution consists in eliminating a value if there exists another value which can be substituted for it in each…
A univariate continuous function can always be decomposed as the sum of a non-increasing function and a non-decreasing one. Based on this property, we propose a non-parametric regression method that combines two spline-fitted monotone…

Computational topology provides a tool, persistent homology, to extract quantitative descriptors from structured objects (images, graphs, point clouds, etc). These descriptors can then be involved in optimization problems, typically as a…
In traditional software programs, it is easy to trace program logic from variables back to input, apply assertion statements to block erroneous behavior, and compose programs together. Although deep learning programs have demonstrated…
