Planning Graphs and Knowledge Compilation
One of the major advances in classical planning has been the development of Graphplan. Graphplan builds a layered structure called the planning graph, and then searches this struc...

New Results on Quantum Property Testing
We present several new examples of speed-ups obtainable by quantum algorithms in the context of property testing. First, motivated by sampling algorithms, we consider probability d...

If NP Languages are Hard on the Worst-Case, Then it is Easy to Find Their Hard Instances
We prove that if NP ⊆ BPP, i.e., if SAT is worst-case hard, then for every probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm trying to decide SAT, there exists some polynomially samplable ...

A Model-Based Active Testing Approach to Sequential Diagnosis
Model-based diagnostic reasoning often leads to a large number of diagnostic hypotheses. The set of diagnoses can be reduced by taking into account extra observations (passive mon...

Adaptive Simulated Annealing: A Near-optimal Connection between Sampling and Counting
We present a near-optimal reduction from approximately counting the cardinality of a discrete set to approximately sampling elements of the set. An important application of our wo...
