Let S be a finite set of words such that Fact(S ) = . We deal with the problem of finding bounds on the minimal length of words in \ Fact(S ) in terms of the maximal length of wor...

We present algorithms and heuristics to compute the characteristic polynomial of a matrix given its minimal polynomial. The matrix is represented as a black-box, i.e., by a functi...
Abductive inference has long been associated with the logic of scientific discovery and automated abduction is now being used in real scientific tasks. But few methods can exploi...
We tackle the problem of finding a smallest-cardinality MUS (SMUS) of a given formula. The SMUS provides a succinct explanation of infeasibility and is valuable for applications th...
Many problems in computer vision can be modeled using
conditional Markov random fields (CRF). Since finding
the maximum a posteriori (MAP) solution in such models
is NP-hard, mu...
