Ranked Enumeration for MSO on Trees via Knowledge Compilation

Authors: Antoine Amarilli, Pierre Bourhis, Florent Capelli, and Mikaël Monet

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 290, 27th International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2024)


Abstract
We study the problem of enumerating the satisfying assignments for certain circuit classes from knowledge compilation, where assignments are ranked in a specific order. In particular, we show how this problem can be used to efficiently perform ranked enumeration of the answers to MSO queries over trees, with the order being given by a ranking function satisfying a subset-monotonicity property. Assuming that the number of variables is constant, we show that we can enumerate the satisfying assignments in ranked order for so-called multivalued circuits that are smooth, decomposable, and in negation normal form (smooth multivalued DNNF). There is no preprocessing and the enumeration delay is linear in the size of the circuit times the number of values, plus a logarithmic term in the number of assignments produced so far. If we further assume that the circuit is deterministic (smooth multivalued d-DNNF), we can achieve linear-time preprocessing in the circuit, and the delay only features the logarithmic term.

Enumerating Regular Languages with Bounded Delay

Authors: Antoine Amarilli and Mikaël Monet

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 254, 40th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2023)


Abstract
We study the task, for a given language L, of enumerating the (generally infinite) sequence of its words, without repetitions, while bounding the delay between two consecutive words. To allow for delay bounds that do not depend on the current word length, we assume a model where we produce each word by editing the preceding word with a small edit script, rather than writing out the word from scratch. In particular, this witnesses that the language is orderable, i.e., we can write its words as an infinite sequence such that the Levenshtein edit distance between any two consecutive words is bounded by a value that depends only on the language. For instance, (a+b)^* is orderable (with a variant of the Gray code), but a^* + b^* is not. We characterize which regular languages are enumerable in this sense, and show that this can be decided in PTIME in an input deterministic finite automaton (DFA) for the language. In fact, we show that, given a DFA A, we can compute in PTIME automata A₁, …, A_t such that L(A) is partitioned as L(A₁) ⊔ … ⊔ L(A_t) and every L(A_i) is orderable in this sense. Further, we show that the value of t obtained is optimal, i.e., we cannot partition L(A) into less than t orderable languages. In the case where L(A) is orderable (i.e., t = 1), we show that the ordering can be produced by a bounded-delay algorithm: specifically, the algorithm runs in a suitable pointer machine model, and produces a sequence of bounded-length edit scripts to visit the words of L(A) without repetitions, with bounded delay - exponential in |A| - between each script. In fact, we show that we can achieve this while only allowing the edit operations push and pop at the beginning and end of the word, which implies that the word can in fact be maintained in a double-ended queue. By contrast, when fixing the distance bound d between consecutive words and the number of classes of the partition, it is NP-hard in the input DFA A to decide if L(A) is orderable in this sense, already for finite languages. Last, we study the model where push-pop edits are only allowed at the end of the word, corresponding to a case where the word is maintained on a stack. We show that these operations are strictly weaker and that the slender languages are precisely those that can be partitioned into finitely many languages that are orderable in this sense. For the slender languages, we can again characterize the minimal number of languages in the partition, and achieve bounded-delay enumeration.

Weighted Counting of Matchings in Unbounded-Treewidth Graph Families

Authors: Antoine Amarilli and Mikaël Monet

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


Abstract
We consider a weighted counting problem on matchings, denoted PrMatching(𝒢), on an arbitrary fixed graph family 𝒢. The input consists of a graph G ∈ 𝒢 and of rational probabilities of existence on every edge of G, assuming independence. The output is the probability of obtaining a matching of G in the resulting distribution, i.e., a set of edges that are pairwise disjoint. It is known that, if 𝒢 has bounded treewidth, then PrMatching(𝒢) can be solved in polynomial time. In this paper we show that, under some assumptions, bounded treewidth in fact characterizes the tractable graph families for this problem. More precisely, we show intractability for all graph families 𝒢 satisfying the following treewidth-constructibility requirement: given an integer k in unary, we can construct in polynomial time a graph G ∈ 𝒢 with treewidth at least k. Our hardness result is then the following: for any treewidth-constructible graph family 𝒢, the problem PrMatching(𝒢) is intractable. This generalizes known hardness results for weighted matching counting under some restrictions that do not bound treewidth, e.g., being planar, 3-regular, or bipartite; it also answers a question left open in [Amarilli et al., 2016]. We also obtain a similar lower bound for the weighted counting of edge covers.

Connecting Width and Structure in Knowledge Compilation

Authors: Antoine Amarilli, Mikaël Monet, and Pierre Senellart

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 98, 21st International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2018)


Abstract
Several query evaluation tasks can be done via knowledge compilation: the query result is compiled as a lineage circuit from which the answer can be determined. For such tasks, it is important to leverage some width parameters of the circuit, such as bounded treewidth or pathwidth, to convert the circuit to structured classes, e.g., deterministic structured NNFs (d-SDNNFs) or OBDDs. In this work, we show how to connect the width of circuits to the size of their structured representation, through upper and lower bounds. For the upper bound, we show how bounded-treewidth circuits can be converted to a d-SDNNF, in time linear in the circuit size. Our bound, unlike existing results, is constructive and only singly exponential in the treewidth. We show a related lower bound on monotone DNF or CNF formulas, assuming a constant bound on the arity (size of clauses) and degree (number of occurrences of each variable). Specifically, any d-SDNNF (resp., SDNNF) for such a DNF (resp., CNF) must be of exponential size in its treewidth; and the same holds for pathwidth when compiling to OBDDs. Our lower bounds, in contrast with most previous work, apply to any formula of this class, not just a well-chosen family. Hence, for our language of DNF and CNF, pathwidth and treewidth respectively characterize the efficiency of compiling to OBDDs and (d-)SDNNFs, that is, compilation is singly exponential in the width parameter. We conclude by applying our lower bound results to the task of query evaluation.

Combined Tractability of Query Evaluation via Tree Automata and Cycluits

Authors: Antoine Amarilli, Pierre Bourhis, Mikaël Monet, and Pierre Senellart

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 68, 20th International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2017)


Abstract
We investigate parameterizations of both database instances and queries that make query evaluation fixed-parameter tractable in combined complexity. We introduce a new Datalog fragment with stratified negation, intensional-clique-guarded Datalog (ICG-Datalog), with linear-time evaluation on structures of bounded treewidth for programs of bounded rule size. Such programs capture in particular conjunctive queries with simplicial decompositions of bounded width, guarded negation fragment queries of bounded CQ-rank, or two-way regular path queries. Our result is shown by compiling to alternating two-way automata, whose semantics is defined via cyclic provenance circuits (cycluits) that can be tractably evaluated. Last, we prove that probabilistic query evaluation remains intractable in combined complexity under this parameterization.
