Softened symbol grounding for neuro-symbolic systems

Z Li, Y Yao, T Chen, J Xu, C Cao, X Ma, J Lü - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Neuro-symbolic learning generally consists of two separated worlds, ie, neural network
training and symbolic constraint solving, whose success hinges on symbol grounding, a …

From Algorithms to Connectivity and Back: Finding a Giant Component in Random k-SAT

Z Chen, N Mani, A Moitra - Proceedings of the 2023 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2023 - SIAM
We take an algorithmic approach to studying the solution space geometry of relatively
sparse random and bounded degree k-CNFs for large k. In the course of doing so, we …

Towards derandomising markov chain monte carlo

W Feng, H Guo, C Wang, J Wang… - 2023 IEEE 64th Annual …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present a new framework to derandomise certain Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)
algorithms. As in MCMC, we first reduce counting problems to sampling from a sequence of …

Improved bounds for sampling solutions of random CNF formulas

K He, K Wu, K Yang - Proceedings of the 2023 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2023 - SIAM
Let Φ be a random k-CNF formula on n variables and m clauses, where each clause is a
disjunction of k literals chosen independently and uniformly. Our goal is, for most Φ, to …

Sampling Lovász local lemma for general constraint satisfaction solutions in near-linear time

We give a fast algorithm for sampling uniform solutions of general constraint satisfaction
problems (CSPs) in a local lemma regime. Ihe expected running time of our algorithm is …

Deterministic counting Lovász local lemma beyond linear programming

K He, C Wang, Y Yin - Proceedings of the 2023 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2023 - SIAM
We give a simple combinatorial algorithm to deterministically approximately count the
number of satisfying assignments of general constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) …

Towards the sampling Lovász local lemma

V Jain, HT Pham, TD Vuong - 2021 IEEE 62nd Annual …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Let Φ=(V,C) be a constraint satisfaction problem on variables v_1,...,v_n such that each
constraint depends on at most k variables and such that each variable assumes values in an …

Sampling constraint satisfaction solutions in the local lemma regime

W Feng, K He, Y Yin - Proceedings of the 53rd Annual ACM SIGACT …, 2021 - dl.acm.org
We give a Markov chain based algorithm for sampling almost uniform solutions of constraint
satisfaction problems (CSPs). Assuming a canonical setting for the Lovász local lemma …

Perfect sampling for (atomic) lov\'asz local lemma

K He, X Sun, K Wu - arxiv preprint arxiv:2107.03932, 2021 - arxiv.org
We give a Markov chain based perfect sampler for uniform sampling solutions of constraint
satisfaction problems (CSP). Under some mild Lov\'asz local lemma conditions where each …
