Sampling and Soundness: Can We Have Both?
Recent research on model counting in CNF formulas has shown that a certain sampling method can yield results that are sound with a provably high probability. The key idea is to ite...

A New Approach to Model Counting
We introduce ApproxCount, an algorithm that approximates the number of satisfying assignments or models of a formula in propositional logic. Many AI tasks, such as calculating degr...

A general approach for cache-oblivious range reporting and approximate range counting
We present cache-oblivious solutions to two important variants of range searching: range reporting and approximate range counting. Our main contribution is a general approach for ...

Discrepancy Sets and Pseudorandom Generators for Combinatorial Rectangles
A common subproblem of DNF approximate counting and derandomizing RL is the discrepancy problem for combinatorial rectangles. We explicitly construct a poly(n)-size sample space t...
