چکیده

While several powerful methods exist for automatically detecting symmetries in instances of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs), current methods for detecting symmetries in CSP models are limited to the kind of symmetries that can be inferred from the global constraints present in the model. Herein, a new approach for detecting symmetries in CSP models is presented. The approach is based on first applying powerful methods to a sequence of problem instances, and then reasoning on the resulting instance symmetries to infer symmetries of the model. Our results show that this approach deserves further exploration.

A Novel Approach for Detecting Relationships in Social Networks Using Cellular Automata Based Graph Coloring

All the social networks can be modeled as a graph, where each roles as vertex and each relationroles as an edge. The graph can be show as G = [V;E], where V is the set of vertices and E is theset of edges. All social networks can be segmented to K groups, where there are members in eachgroup with same features. In each group each person knows other individuals and is in touch ...

Markov Chains on Orbits of Permutation Groups

We present a novel approach to detecting and utilizing symmetries in probabilistic graphical models with two main contributions. First, we present a scalable approach to computing generating sets of permutation groups representing the symmetries of graphical models. Second, we introduce orbital Markov chains, a novel family of Markov chains leveraging model symmetries to reduce mixing times. We...

A Novel Clustering Approach for Estimating the Time of Step Changes in Shewhart Control Charts

  Although control charts are very common to monitoring process changes, they usually do not indicate the real time of the changes. Identifying the real time of the process changes is known as change-point estimation problem. There are a number of change point models in the literature however most of the existing approaches are dedicated to normal processes. In this paper we propose a novel app...

Exploiting Symmetry in Lifted CS

When search problems have large-scale symmetric structure, detecting and exploiting that structure can greatly reduce the size of the search space. Previous work has shown how to find and exploit symmetries in propositional encodings of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). Here we consider problems that have more compact “lifted” (quantified) descriptions from which propositional encodings ...

Symmetry Breaking in Subgraph Pattern Matching

Graph pattern matching, a central application in many fields, can be modelled as a CSP. This CSP approach can be competitive with dedicated algorithms. In this paper, we develop symmetry breaking techniques for subgraph matching in order to increase the number of tractable instances. Specific detection techniques are first developed for the classical variables symmetries and value symmetries. I...
