Abstract. Machine learning can be utilized to build models that predict the runtime of search algorithms for hard combinatorial problems. Such empirical hardness models have previo...

Backbone variables have the same assignment in all solutions to a given constraint satisfaction problem; more generally, bias represents the proportion of solutions that assign a v...

It is well known that many hard tasks considered in machine learning and data mining can be solved in an rather simple and robust way with an instance- and distance-based approach....
