Anytime Weighted Model Counting with Approximation Guarantees for Probabilistic Inference

Authors: Alexandre Dubray, Pierre Schaus, and Siegfried Nijssen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 307, 30th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2024)

Abstract
Weighted model counting (WMC) plays a central role in probabilistic reasoning. Given that this problem is #P-hard, harder instances can generally only be addressed using approximate techniques based on sampling, which provide statistical convergence guarantees: the longer a sampling process runs, the more accurate the WMC is likely to be. In this work, we propose a deterministic search-based approach that can also be stopped at any time and provides hard lower- and upper-bound guarantees on the true WMC. This approach uses a value heuristic that guides exploration first towards models with a high weight and leverages Limited Discrepancy Search to make the bounds converge faster. The validity, scalability, and convergence of our approach are tested and compared with state-of-the-art baseline methods on the problem of computing marginal probabilities in Bayesian networks and reliability estimation in probabilistic graphs.

AlfaPang: Alignment Free Algorithm for Pangenome Graph Construction

Authors: Adam Cicherski, Anna Lisiecka, and Norbert Dojer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 312, 24th International Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI 2024)

Abstract
The success of pangenome-based approaches to genomics analysis depends largely on the existence of efficient methods for constructing pangenome graphs that are applicable to large genome collections. In the current paper we present AlfaPang, a new pangenome graph building algorithm. AlfaPang is based on a novel alignment-free approach that allows to construct pangenome graphs using significantly less computational resources than state-of-the-art tools. The code of AlfaPang is freely available at https://github.com/AdamCicherski/AlfaPang.

Multiparty Session Types for Safe Runtime Adaptation in an Actor Language

Authors: Paul Harvey, Simon Fowler, Ornela Dardha, and Simon J. Gay

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 194, 35th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2021)

Abstract
Human fallibility, unpredictable operating environments, and the heterogeneity of hardware devices are driving the need for software to be able to adapt as seen in the Internet of Things or telecommunication networks. Unfortunately, mainstream programming languages do not readily allow a software component to sense and respond to its operating environment, by discovering, replacing, and communicating with components that are not part of the original system design, while maintaining static correctness guarantees. In particular, if a new component is discovered at runtime, there is no guarantee that its communication behaviour is compatible with existing components. We address this problem by using multiparty session types with explicit connection actions, a type formalism used to model distributed communication protocols. By associating session types with software components, the discovery process can check protocol compatibility and, when required, correctly replace components without jeopardising safety. We present the design and implementation of EnsembleS, the first actor-based language with adaptive features and a static session type system, and apply it to a case study based on an adaptive DNS server. We formalise the type system of EnsembleS and prove the safety of well-typed programs, making essential use of recent advances in non-classical multiparty session types.

Multiparty Session Types for Safe Runtime Adaptation in an Actor Language (Artifact)

Authors: Paul Harvey, Simon Fowler, Ornela Dardha, and Simon J. Gay

Published in: DARTS, Volume 7, Issue 2, Special Issue of the 35th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2021)

Abstract
This is the companion artifact for the paper "Multiparty Session Types for Safe Runtime Adaptation in an Actor Language". EnsembleS is an actor-based programming language supporting dynamic self-adaptation, (discovery, replacement, and communication), which also guarantees communication safety. The artifact includes the EnsembleS compiler, the modified StMungo code, and all examples contained within the paper.
