We show that for k ≥ 3 even the Ω(n) level of the Lasserre hierarchy cannot disprove a random k-CSP instance over any predicate type implied by k-XOR constraints, for example ...
Abstract. The stochastic satisfiability modulo theories (SSMT) problem is a generalization of the SMT problem on existential and randomized (aka. stochastic) quantification over di...
This paper improves recent methods for large scale image search. State-of-the-art methods build on the bag-of-features image representation. We, first, analyze bag-of-features in t...
The problem of obtaining the maximum a posteriori (map) estimate of a discrete random field is of fundamental importance in many areas of Computer Science. In this work, we build ...
Constraint-based random simulation is state-of-the-art in verification of multi-million gate industrial designs. This method is based on stimulus generation by constraint solving...
