Stochastic Search and Phase Transitions: AI Meets Physics

نویسنده

چکیده

Computationally hard instances of combinatorial problems arise at a certain critical ratio of constraints to variables. At the critical ratio, problem distributions undergo dramatic changes. I will discuss how an analogous phenomenon occurs in phase transitions studied in physics, and how experiments with critically constrained problems have led to surprising new insights into average-case complexity and stochastic search methods in AI.

Magnetic Properties and Phase Transitions in a Spin-1 Random Transverse Ising Model on Simple Cubic Lattice

Within the effective-field theory with correlations (EFT), a transverse random field spin-1 Ising model on the simple cubic (z=6) lattice is studied. The phase diagrams, the behavior of critical points, transverse magnetization,  internal energy, magnetic specific heat are obtained numerically and discussed for different values of p the concentration of the random transverse field.

Finite-Size Scaling in Random $K$-Satisfiability Problems

We provide a comprehensive view of various phase transitions in random K-satisfiability problems solved by stochastic-local-search algorithms. In particular, we focus on the finite-size scaling (FSS) exponent, which is mathematically important and practically useful in analyzing finite systems. Using the FSS theory of nonequilibrium absorbing phase transitions, we show that the density of unsat...

Phase Transitions and Stochastic Local Search in k-Term DNF Learning

In the past decade, there has been a lot of interest in phase transitions within artificial intelligence, and more recently, in machine learning and inductive logic programming. We investigate phase transitions in learning k-term DNF boolean formulae, a practically relevant class of concepts. We do not only show that there exist phase transitions, but also characterize and locate these phase tr...

The Effects of Different SDE Calculus on Dynamics of Nano-Aerosols Motion in Two Phase Flow Systems

Langevin equation for a nano-particle suspended in a laminar fluid flow was analytically studied. The Brownian motion generated from molecular bombardment was taken as a Wiener stochastic process and approximated by a Gaussian white noise. Euler-Maruyama method was used to solve the Langevin equation numerically. The accuracy of Brownian simulation was checked by performing a series of simulati...

The phase transition of corrected black hole with f(R) gravity

In this letter, we consider static black hole in f(R) gravity.We take advantage from corrected entropy and temperature and investigate such black hole. Finally, we study the $ P - V $ critically and phase transition of corrected black hole with respect to entropy and temperature. Here also, we obtain the heat capacity for the static black hole in $ f(R) $ gravity. This calculation help us...
