Abstract:Simple Tabular Reduction (STR) is a state-of-the-art filtering technique for enforcing Generalized Arc Consistency (GAC) on positive table constraints. Despite its good performance in practice, the STR2 algorithm suffers from a mandatory lower bound equal to the number of domain values in the current state of the problem, because the presence of each value must be justified every time STR2 is called. We overcome this fixed cost by redesigning STR2 and incorporating watched tuples. Experiments show that the rev… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
