Improving probability selecting based weights for Satisfiability Problem
The Boolean Satisfiability problem (SAT) is important on artificial intelligence community and the impact of its solving on complex problems. Recently, great breakthroughs have been made respectively on stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms for uniform random k-SAT resulting in several state-of-the-art SLS algorithms Score2SAT, YalSAT, ProbSAT, CScoreSAT and on a hybrid algorithm for hard random SAT (HRS) resulting in one state-of-the-art hybrid algorithm SparrowToRiss. However, there is no an algorithm which can effectively solve both uniform random k-SAT and HRS. In this paper, we present a new SLS algorithm named SelectNTS for uniform random k-SAT and HRS. SelectNTS is an improved probability selecting based local search algorithm for SAT problem. The core of SelectNTS relies on new clause and variable selection heuristics. The new clause selection heuristic uses a new clause weighting scheme and a biased random walk. The new variable selection heuristic uses a probability selecting strategy with the variation of CC strategy based on a new variable weighting scheme. Extensive experimental results on the well-known random benchmarks instances from the SAT Competitions in 2017 and 2018, and on randomly generated problems, show that our algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art random SAT algorithms, and our SelectNTS can effectively solve both uniform random k-SAT and HRS.

A Logic for Reasoning about Upper Probabilities
We present a propositional logic to reason about the uncertainty of events, where the uncertainty is modeled by a set of probability measures assigning an interval of probability to each event. We give a sound and comple…
Learning to Select SAT Encodings for Pseudo-Boolean and Linear Integer Constraints
Many constraint satisfaction and optimisation problems can be solved effectively by encoding them as instances of the Boolean Satisfiability problem (SAT). However, even the simplest types of constraints have many encodi…
Some Complexity Results for Robustness Verification for Binarized Neural Networks
This paper investigates the computational complexity of verification problems for Binarized Neural Networks (BNNs), in which activations and weights are binary. Specifically, we study three verification problems. First, …
Reasoning about Expectation
Expectation is a central notion in probability theory. The notion of expectation also makes sense for other notions of uncertainty. We introduce a propositional logic for reasoning about expectation, where the semantics …
Probabilistic and Causal Satisfiability: Constraining the Model
We study the complexity of satisfiability problems in probabilistic and causal reasoning. Given random variables $X_1, X_2,\ldots$ over finite domains, the basic terms are probabilities of propositional formulas over ato…
