Towards Effective Deep Learning for Constraint Satisfaction Problems
[chapter]
2018
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Many attempts have been made to apply machine learning techniques to constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). However, none of them have made use of the recent advances in deep learning. ...
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first effective application of deep learning to CSPs that yields >99.99% prediction accuracy on random Boolean binary CSPs whose constraint tightnesses or constraint ...

They combine together the best features of traditional constraint satisfaction, stochastic integer programming, and stochastic satisfiability. ...
To model combinatorial decision problems involving uncertainty and probability, we introduce stochastic constraint programming. ...
If the fraction of the resulting constraint satisfaction problems that are satisfiable is at least equal to the threshold θ, then the original stochastic constraint satisfaction problem is likely to be ...

Attention is concentrated on varying F and CR dynamically with each generation evolution. SADE maintains the diversity of population and improves the global convergence ability. ...
In order to balance an individual's exploration and exploitation capability for different evolving phases, F and CR are equal to two different self-adjusted nonlinear functions. ...

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We extend previous results from satisfiability testing by looking at the broader domain of constraint satisfaction and test for differences in performance using randomly generated problems and problems ...
We find constraint weighting produces fairly consistent behaviour within problem domains, and is more influenced by the number and interconnectedness of constraints than the realism or randomness of a ...
In addition we run tests on the well-studied problem of random binary constraint satisfaction [10] . For the purpose of the research, a university timetable problem generator was developed. ...
