Sublinear Space Graph Algorithms in the Continual Release Model

Authors: Alessandro Epasto, Quanquan C. Liu, Tamalika Mukherjee, and Felix Zhou

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 353, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2025)

Abstract
The graph continual release model of differential privacy seeks to produce differentially private solutions to graph problems under a stream of edge updates where new private solutions are released after each update. Thus far, previously known edge-differentially private algorithms for most graph problems including densest subgraph and matchings in the continual release setting only output real-value estimates (not vertex subset solutions) and do not use sublinear space. Instead, they rely on computing exact graph statistics on the input [Hendrik Fichtenberger et al., 2021; Shuang Song et al., 2018]. In this paper, we leverage sparsification to address the above shortcomings for edge-insertion streams. Our edge-differentially private algorithms use sublinear space with respect to the number of edges in the graph while some also achieve sublinear space in the number of vertices in the graph. In addition, for the densest subgraph problem, we also output edge-differentially private vertex subset solutions; no previous graph algorithms in the continual release model output such subsets. We make novel use of assorted sparsification techniques from the non-private streaming and static graph algorithms literature to achieve new results in the sublinear space, continual release setting. This includes algorithms for densest subgraph, maximum matching, as well as the first continual release k-core decomposition algorithm. We also develop a novel sparse level data structure for k-core decomposition that may be of independent interest. To complement our insertion-only algorithms, we conclude with polynomial additive error lower bounds for edge-privacy in the fully dynamic setting, where only logarithmic lower bounds were previously known.

Lower Bounds for Several Standard Bin Packing Algorithms in the Random Order Model

Authors: Leah Epstein and Asaf Levin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 349, 19th International Symposium on Algorithms and Data Structures (WADS 2025)

Abstract
We consider the performance of standard bin packing algorithms in the random order model. We provide an improved lower bound of 1.15582656 on the asymptotic approximation ratio of Best Fit (BF) for randomly ordered inputs. We also show lower bounds on the asymptotic approximation ratio for two bounded space bin packing algorithms in this model, namely for 2-BF and 2-FF. These are well-studied bounded space algorithms and the first one has the same asymptotic worst-case performance as BF. However, the resulting lower bounds on their performances in the random order model are much higher than that of BF.

Analyzing Reformulation Performance in Core-Guided MaxSAT Solving

Authors: André Schidler and Stefan Szeider

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 341, 28th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2025)

Abstract
Core-guided algorithms like OLL are among the best methods for solving the Maximum Satisfiability problem (MaxSAT). Although some performance characteristics of OLL have been studied, a comprehensive experimental analysis of its reformulation behavior is still missing. In this paper, we present a large-scale study on how different reformulations of a MaxSAT instance produced by OLL affect solver performance. By representing these reformulations as a directed acyclic graph (DAG), we isolate the impact of structural features - such as the size and interconnectivity of unsatisfiable cores - on solver runtime. Our extensive experimental evaluation of over 600k solver runs reveals clear correlations between DAG properties and performance outcomes. These results suggest a new avenue for designing heuristics that steer the solver toward more tractable reformulations. All OLL DAGs and performance data from our experiments are publicly available to foster further research.

Core-Guided Linear Programming-Based Maximum Satisfiability

Authors: George Katsirelos

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 341, 28th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2025)

Abstract
The core-guided algorithm OLL is the basis of some of the most successful algorithms for MaxSAT in recent evaluations. It works by iteratively finding cores of the formula and transforming it so that it exhibits a higher lower bound. It has recently been shown to implicitly discover cores of the original formula, as well as a compact representation of its reasoning within a linear program. In this paper, we use and extend these results to design a practical MaxSAT solver. We show an explicit linear program which matches and usually exceeds the bound computed by OLL. We show that OLL can be restated as an algorithm that explicitly computes a feasible dual solution of this linear program. This restated algorithm naturally works with an arbitrary dual solution. It can in fact be used to improve any LP representation of the MaxSAT instance. This presents a large increase of the potential design space for such algorithms. We describe some potential improvements from this insight and show that an implementation outperforms the state of the art algorithms on the set of instances from the latest MaxSAT evaluation.

CoaKG: A Contextualized Knowledge Graph Approach for Exploratory Search and Decision Making

Authors: Veronica dos Santos, Daniel Schwabe, Altigran Soares da Silva, and Sérgio Lifschitz

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 1 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 1

Abstract
In decision-making scenarios, an information need arises due to a knowledge gap when a decision-maker needs more knowledge to make a decision. Users may take the initiative to acquire knowledge to fill this gap through exploratory search approaches using Knowledge Graphs (KGs) as information sources, but their queries can be incomplete, inaccurate, and ambiguous. Although KGs have great potential for exploratory search, they are incomplete by nature. Besides, for both Crowd-sourced KGs and KGs constructed by integrating several different information sources of varying quality to be effectively consumed, there is a need for a Trust Layer. Our research aims to enrich and allow querying KGs to support context-aware exploration in decision-making scenarios. We propose a layered architecture for Context Augmented Knowledge Graphs-based Decision Support Systems with a Knowledge Layer that operates under a Dual Open World Assumption (DOWA). Under DOWA, the evaluation of the truthfulness of the information obtained from KGs depends on the context of its claims and the tasks carried out or intended (purpose). The Knowledge Layer comprises a Context Augmented KG (CoaKG) and a CoaKG Query Engine. The CoaKG contains contextual mappings to identify explicit context and rules to infer implicit context. The CoaKG Query Engine is designed as a query-answering approach that retrieves all contextualized answers from the CoaKG. A Proof of Concept (PoC) based on Wikidata was developed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Knowledge Layer.

Uncertainty Management in the Construction of Knowledge Graphs: A Survey

Authors: Lucas Jarnac, Yoan Chabot, and Miguel Couceiro

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 1 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 1

Abstract
Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are a major asset for companies thanks to their great flexibility in data representation and their numerous applications, e.g., vocabulary sharing, Q&A or recommendation systems. To build a KG, it is a common practice to rely on automatic methods for extracting knowledge from various heterogeneous sources. However, in a noisy and uncertain world, knowledge may not be reliable and conflicts between data sources may occur. Integrating unreliable data would directly impact the use of the KG, therefore such conflicts must be resolved. This could be done manually by selecting the best data to integrate. This first approach is highly accurate, but costly and time-consuming. That is why recent efforts focus on automatic approaches, which represent a challenging task since it requires handling the uncertainty of extracted knowledge throughout its integration into the KG. We survey state-of-the-art approaches in this direction and present constructions of both open and enterprise KGs. We then describe different knowledge extraction methods and discuss downstream tasks after knowledge acquisition, including KG completion using embedding models, knowledge alignment, and knowledge fusion in order to address the problem of knowledge uncertainty in KG construction. We conclude with a discussion on the remaining challenges and perspectives when constructing a KG taking into account uncertainty.

When Alpha-Complexes Collapse onto Codimension-1 Submanifolds

Authors: Dominique Attali, Mattéo Clémot, Bianca B. Dornelas, and André Lieutier

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 332, 41st International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2025)

Abstract
Given a finite set of points P sampling an unknown smooth surface ℳ ⊆ ℝ³, our goal is to triangulate ℳ based solely on P. Assuming ℳ is a smooth orientable submanifold of codimension 1 in ℝ^d, we introduce a simple algorithm, Naive Squash, which simplifies the α-complex of P by repeatedly applying a new type of collapse called vertical relative to ℳ. Naive Squash also has a practical version that does not require knowledge of ℳ. We establish conditions under which both the naive and practical Squash algorithms output a triangulation of ℳ. We provide a bound on the angle formed by triangles in the α-complex with ℳ, yielding sampling conditions on P that are competitive with existing literature for smooth surfaces embedded in ℝ³, while offering a more compartmentalized proof. As a by-product, we obtain that the restricted Delaunay complex of P triangulates ℳ when ℳ is a smooth surface in ℝ³ under weaker conditions than existing ones.

Unifying Sequent Systems for Gödel-Löb Provability Logic via Syntactic Transformations

Authors: Tim S. Lyon

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 326, 33rd EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2025)

Abstract
We demonstrate the inter-translatability of proofs between the most prominent sequent-based formalisms for Gödel-Löb provability logic. In particular, we consider Sambin and Valentini’s sequent system GL_{seq}, Shamkanov’s non-wellfounded and cyclic sequent systems GL_∞ and GL_{circ}, Poggiolesi’s tree-hypersequent system CSGL, and Negri’s labeled sequent system G3GL. Shamkanov provided proof-theoretic correspondences between GL_{seq}, GL_∞, and GL_{circ}, and Goré and Ramanayake showed how to transform proofs between CSGL and G3GL, however, the exact nature of proof transformations between the former three systems and the latter two systems has remained an open problem. We solve this open problem by showing how to restructure tree-hypersequent proofs into an end-active form and introduce a novel linearization technique that transforms such proofs into linear nested sequent proofs. As a result, we obtain a new proof-theoretic tool for extracting linear nested sequent systems from tree-hypersequent systems, which yields the first cut-free linear nested sequent calculus LNGL for Gödel-Löb provability logic. We show how to transform proofs in LNGL into a certain normal form, where proofs repeat in stages of modal and local rule applications, and which are translatable into GL_{seq} and G3GL proofs. These new syntactic transformations, together with those mentioned above, establish full proof-theoretic correspondences between GL_{seq}, GL_∞, GL_{circ}, CSGL, G3GL, and LNGL while also giving (to the best of the author’s knowledge) the first constructive proof mappings between structural (viz. labeled, tree-hypersequent, and linear nested sequent) systems and a cyclic sequent system.

Taking Bi-Intuitionistic Logic First-Order: A Proof-Theoretic Investigation via Polytree Sequents

Authors: Tim S. Lyon, Ian Shillito, and Alwen Tiu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 326, 33rd EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2025)

Abstract
It is well-known that extending the Hilbert axiomatic system for first-order intuitionistic logic with an exclusion operator, that is dual to implication, collapses the domains of models into a constant domain. This makes it an interesting problem to find a sound and complete proof system for first-order bi-intuitionistic logic with non-constant domains that is also conservative over first-order intuitionistic logic. We solve this problem by presenting the first sound and complete proof system for first-order bi-intuitionistic logic with increasing domains. We formalize our proof system as a polytree sequent calculus (a notational variant of nested sequents), and prove that it enjoys cut-elimination and is conservative over first-order intuitionistic logic. A key feature of our calculus is an explicit eigenvariable context, which allows us to control precisely the scope of free variables in a polytree structure. Semantically this context can be seen as encoding a notion of Scott’s existence predicate for intuitionistic logic. This turns out to be crucial to avoid the collapse of domains and to prove the completeness of our proof system. The explicit consideration of the variable context in a formula sheds light on a previously overlooked dependency between the residuation principle and the existence predicate in the first-order setting, which may help to explain the difficulty in designing a sound and complete proof system for first-order bi-intuitionistic logic.

Abstract
In the last decade, there has been a growing interest in applying AI technologies to implement complex data analytics over data streams. To this end, researchers in various fields have been organising a yearly event called the "Stream Reasoning Workshop" to share perspectives, challenges, and experiences around this topic. In this paper, the previous organisers of the workshops and other community members provide a summary of the main research results that have been discussed during the first six editions of the event. These results can be categorised into four main research areas: The first is concerned with the technological challenges related to handling large data streams. The second area aims at adapting and extending existing semantic technologies to data streams. The third and fourth areas focus on how to implement reasoning techniques, either considering deductive or inductive techniques, to extract new and valuable knowledge from the data in the stream. This summary is written not only to provide a crystallisation of the field, but also to point out distinctive traits of the stream reasoning community. Moreover, it also provides a foundation for future research by enumerating a list of use cases and open challenges, to stimulate others to join this exciting research area.

Abstract
Large Language Models (LLMs) have taken Knowledge Representation - and the world - by storm. This inflection point marks a shift from explicit knowledge representation to a renewed focus on the hybrid representation of both explicit knowledge and parametric knowledge. In this position paper, we will discuss some of the common debate points within the community on LLMs (parametric knowledge) and Knowledge Graphs (explicit knowledge) and speculate on opportunities and visions that the renewed focus brings, as well as related research topics and challenges.

Abstract
Openly available, collaboratively edited Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are key platforms for the collective management of evolving knowledge. The present work aims t o provide an analysis of the obstacles related to investigating and processing specifically this central aspect of evolution in KGs. To this end, we discuss (i) the dimensions of evolution in KGs, (ii) the observability of evolution in existing, open, collaboratively constructed Knowledge Graphs over time, and (iii) possible metrics to analyse this evolution. We provide an overview of relevant state-of-the-art research, ranging from metrics developed for Knowledge Graphs specifically to potential methods from related fields such as network science. Additionally, we discuss technical approaches - and their current limitations - related to storing, analysing and processing large and evolving KGs in terms of handling typical KG downstream tasks.

Multilingual Knowledge Graphs and Low-Resource Languages: A Review

Authors: Lucie-Aimée Kaffee, Russa Biswas, C. Maria Keet, Edlira Kalemi Vakaj, and Gerard de Melo

Published in: TGDK, Volume 1, Issue 1 (2023): Special Issue on Trends in Graph Data and Knowledge. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 1, Issue 1

Abstract
There is a lack of multilingual data to support applications in a large number of languages, especially for low-resource languages. Knowledge graphs (KG) could contribute to closing the gap of language support by providing easily accessible, machine-readable, multilingual linked data, which can be reused across applications. In this paper, we provide an overview of work in the domain of multilingual KGs with a focus on low-resource languages. We review the current state of multilingual KGs along with the different aspects that are crucial for creating KGs with language coverage in mind. Special consideration is given to challenges particular to low-resource languages in KGs. We further provide an overview of applications that yield multilingual KG information as well as downstream applications reusing such multilingual data. Finally, we explore open problems regarding multilingual KGs with a focus on low-resource languages.

Finite-Cliquewidth Sets of Existential Rules: Toward a General Criterion for Decidable yet Highly Expressive Querying

Authors: Thomas Feller, Tim S. Lyon, Piotr Ostropolski-Nalewaja, and Sebastian Rudolph

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 255, 26th International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2023)

Abstract
In our pursuit of generic criteria for decidable ontology-based querying, we introduce finite-cliquewidth sets (fcs) of existential rules, a model-theoretically defined class of rule sets, inspired by the cliquewidth measure from graph theory. By a generic argument, we show that fcs ensures decidability of entailment for a sizable class of queries (dubbed DaMSOQs) subsuming conjunctive queries (CQs). The fcs class properly generalizes the class of finite-expansion sets (fes), and for signatures of arity ≤ 2, the class of bounded-treewidth sets (bts). For higher arities, bts is only indirectly subsumed by fcs by means of reification. Despite the generality of fcs, we provide a rule set with decidable CQ entailment (by virtue of first-order-rewritability) that falls outside fcs, thus demonstrating the incomparability of fcs and the class of finite-unification sets (fus). In spite of this, we show that if we restrict ourselves to single-headed rule sets over signatures of arity ≤ 2, then fcs subsumes fus.

Towards a Model Theory of Ordered Logics: Expressivity and Interpolation

Authors: Bartosz Bednarczyk and Reijo Jaakkola

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 241, 47th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2022)

Abstract
We consider the family of guarded and unguarded ordered logics, that constitute a recently rediscovered family of decidable fragments of first-order logic (FO), in which the order of quantification of variables coincides with the order in which those variables appear as arguments of predicates. While the complexities of their satisfiability problems are now well-established, their model theory, however, is poorly understood. Our paper aims to provide some insight into it. We start by providing suitable notions of bisimulation for ordered logics. We next employ bisimulations to compare the relative expressive power of ordered logics, and to characterise our logics as bisimulation-invariant fragments of FO à la van Benthem. Afterwards, we study the Craig Interpolation Property (CIP). We refute yet another claim from the infamous work by Purdy, by showing that the fluted and forward fragments do not enjoy CIP. We complement this result by showing that the ordered fragment and the guarded ordered logics enjoy CIP. These positive results rely on novel and quite intricate model constructions, which take full advantage of the "forwardness" of our logics.
