Constraints, Optimization and Data (Dagstuhl Seminar 14411)

Authors: Luc De Raedt, Siegfried Nijssen, Barry O'Sullivan, and Michele Sebag

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 4, Issue 10 (2015)


Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 14411 "Constraints, Optimization and Data". Constraint programming and optimization have recently received considerable attention from the fields of machine learning and data mining; similarly, machine learning and data mining have received considerable attention from the fields of constraint programming and optimization. The goal of the seminar was to showcase recent progress in these different areas, with the objective of working towards a common basis of understanding, which should help to facilitate future synergies.

SoftwareTesting with Active Learning in a Graph

Authors: Nicolas Baskiotis, Michèle Sebag, and Marie-Claude Gaudel

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8351, Evolutionary Test Generation (2009)


Abstract
Motivated by Structural Statistical Software Testing (SSST), this paper is interested in sampling the feasible execution paths in the control flow graph of the program being tested. For some complex programs, the fraction of feasible paths becomes tiny, ranging in $[10^{-10}, 10^{-5}]$. When relying on the uniform sampling of the program paths, SSST is thus hindered by the non-Markovian nature of the ``feasible path'' concept, due to the long-range dependencies between the program nodes. A divide and generate approach relying on an extended Parikh Map representation is proposed to address this limitation; experimental validation on real-world and artificial problems demonstrates gains of orders of magnitude compared to the state of the art.

Structural Sampling for Statistical Software Testing

Authors: Nicolas Baskiotis and Michele Sebag

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7161, Probabilistic, Logical and Relational Learning - A Further Synthesis (2008)


Abstract
Structural Statistical Software Testing exploits the control flow graph of the program being tested to construct test cases. While test cases can easily be extracted from {em feasible paths} in the control flow graph, that is, paths which are actually exerted for some values of the program input, the feasible path region is a tiny fraction of the graph paths (less than $10^{-5}]$ for medium size programs). The S4T algorithm presented in this paper aims to address this limitation; as an Active Relational Learning Algorithm, it uses the few feasible paths initially available to sample new feasible paths. The difficulty comes from the non-Markovian nature of the feasible path concept, due to the long-range dependencies between the nodes in the control flow graph. Experimental validation on real-world and artificial problems demonstrates significant improvements compared to the state of the art.
