Constrained Sampling and Counting: Universal Hashing Meets SAT Solving
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
Recently, we proposed a novel approach that combines universal hashing and SAT solving and scales to formulas with hundreds of thousands of variables without giving up correctness guarantees. ...
Constrained sampling and counting are two fundamental problems in artificial intelligence with a diverse range of applications, spanning probabilistic reasoning and planning to constrained-random verification ...

[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
In this thesis, we introduce a novel hashing-based algorithmic framework for constrained sampling and counting that combines the classical algorithmic technique of universal hashing with the dramatic progress ...
Consequently, constrained counting and sampling have been subject to intense theoretical and empirical investigations over the years. ...

A New Probabilistic Algorithm for Approximate Model Counting
[chapter]
2018
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Constrained counting is important in domains ranging from artificial intelligence to software analysis. There are already a few approaches for counting models over various types of constraints. ...
Recently, hashing-based approaches achieve success but still rely on solution enumeration. ...
This improvement of hash functions is also orthogonal to our approach as we use hash functions and SAT solving as black boxes. ...

Model Counting meets F0 Estimation
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
We next turn our attention to viewing streaming from the lens of counting and show that framing F_0 estimation as a special case of #DNF counting allows us to obtain a general recipe for a rich class of ...
To this end, we focus on two foundational problems: model counting for CSP's and computation of zeroth frequency moments (F_0) for data streams. ...

pre-print
Constrained counting is important in domains ranging from artificial intelligence to software analysis. There are already a few approaches for counting models over various types of constraints. ...
Recently, hashing-based approaches achieve both theoretical guarantees and scalability, but still rely on solution enumeration. ...
The use of universal hash functions in counting problems began in [28, 30] , but the resulting algorithm scaled poorly in practice. ...

Solving weighted and counting variants of connectivity problems parameterized by treewidth deterministically in single exponential time
[article]
2012
arXiv
pre-print
Naturally, this raises the question whether randomization is necessary to achieve this runtime; furthermore, it is desirable to also solve counting and weighted versions (the latter without incurring a ...
For example, in this time we can solve the traveling salesman problem or count the number of Hamiltonian cycles. ...
Moreover the second author thanks Marcin Pilipczuk and Lukasz Kowalik for helpful discussions at the early stage of the paper. ...

Embed and Project: Discrete Sampling with Universal Hashing
2013
Neural Information Processing Systems
We propose a sampling algorithm, called PAWS, based on embedding the set into a higher-dimensional space which is then randomly projected using universal hash functions to a lower-dimensional subspace ...
We demonstrate that by using state-of-the-art combinatorial search tools, PAWS can efficiently sample from Ising grids with strong interactions and from software verification instances, while MCMC and ...
The idea is to project by randomly constraining the configuration space using a family of universal hash functions, search for up to P "surviving" configurations, and then, if fewer than P survive, perform ...

On Parallel Scalable Uniform SAT Witness Generation
[chapter]
2015
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We present a random hashing-based, easily parallelizable algorithm, UniGen2, for sampling solutions of propositional constraints. ...
Constrained-random verification (CRV) is widely used in industry for validating hardware designs. ...
Most of the sampling algorithms used for uniform witness generation fail to meet this criterion, and are hence not easily parallelizable. ...
