A Study of Residual Supports in Arc Consistency
In an Arc Consistency (AC) algorithm, a residual support, or residue, is a support that has been stored during a previous execution of the procedure which determines if a value is ...

Using Generalization Error Bounds to Train the Set Covering Machine
In this paper we eliminate the need for parameter estimation associated with the set covering machine (SCM) by directly minimizing generalization error bounds. Firstly, we consider...

A Quadratic Propagator for the Inter-Distance Constraint
We present a new propagator achieving bound consistency for the INTER-DISTANCE constraint. This constraint ensures that, among a set of variables X1, . . . , Xn, the difference be...

Filtering Algorithms for the NValue Constraint
Abstract. The NValue constraint counts the number of different values assigned to a vector of variables. Propagating generalized arc consistency on this constraint is NP-hard. We ...

Expectation Consistent Free Energies for Approximate Inference
We propose a novel a framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and ca...
