Edge Bundling as a Multi-Objective Optimization Problem (Poster Abstract)

Authors: Raissa dos Santos Vieira, Hugo A. D. do Nascimento, Joelma de Moura Ferreira, Les Foulds, Karsten Klein, and Falk Schreiber

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)

Abstract
Edge bundling is a technique commonly used to reduce visual clutter and improve the comprehension of the drawings of large graphs. Here, we model edge bundling as a multi-objective optimization problem and employ clustering strategies, metaheuristic and Pareto analysis to identify non-dominated solutions for some classical graphs from the literature.

Visualizing Treewidth

Authors: Alvin Chiu, Thomas Depian, David Eppstein, Michael T. Goodrich, and Martin Nöllenburg

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)

Abstract
A witness drawing of a graph is a visualization that clearly shows a given property of a graph. We study and implement various drawing paradigms for witness drawings to clearly show that graphs have bounded pathwidth or treewidth. Our approach draws the tree decomposition or path decomposition as a tree of bags, with induced subgraphs shown in each bag, and with "tracks" for each graph vertex connecting its copies in multiple bags. Within bags, we optimize the vertex layout to avoid crossings of edges and tracks. We implement a visualization prototype for crossing minimization using dynamic programming for graphs of small width and heuristic approaches for graphs of larger width. We introduce a taxonomy of drawing styles, which render the subgraph for each bag as an arc diagram with one or two pages or as a circular layout with straight-line edges, and we render tracks either with straight lines or with orbital-radial paths.

Counting Small Induced Subgraphs: Scorpions Are Easy but Not Trivial

Authors: Radu Curticapean, Simon Döring, and Daniel Neuen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract
In the parameterized problem #IndSub(Φ) for fixed graph properties Φ, given as input a graph G and an integer k, the task is to compute the number of induced k-vertex subgraphs satisfying Φ. Dörfler et al. [Algorithmica 2022] and Roth et al. [SICOMP 2024] conjectured that #IndSub(Φ) is #W[1]-hard for all non-meager properties Φ, i.e., properties that are nontrivial for infinitely many k. This conjecture has been confirmed for several restricted types of properties, including all hereditary properties [STOC 2022] and all edge-monotone properties [STOC 2024]. We refute this conjecture by showing that induced k-vertex graphs that are scorpions can be counted in time O(n⁴) for all k. Scorpions were introduced more than 50 years ago in the context of the evasiveness conjecture. A simple variant of this construction results in graph properties that achieve arbitrary intermediate complexity assuming ETH. Moreover, we formulate an updated conjecture on the complexity of #IndSub(Φ) that correctly captures the complexity status of scorpions and related constructions.

Practically Feasible Proof Logging for Pseudo-Boolean Optimization

Authors: Wietze Koops, Daniel Le Berre, Magnus O. Myreen, Jakob Nordström, Andy Oertel, Yong Kiam Tan, and Marc Vinyals

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 340, 31st International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2025)

Abstract
Certifying solvers have long been standard for decision problems in Boolean satisfiability (SAT), allowing for proof logging and checking with very limited overhead, but developing similar tools for combinatorial optimization has remained a challenge. A recent promising approach covering a wide range of solving paradigms is pseudo-Boolean proof logging, but this has mostly consisted of proof-of-concept works far from delivering the performance required for real-world deployment. In this work, we present an efficient toolchain based on VeriPB and CakePB for formally verified pseudo-Boolean optimization. We implement proof logging for the full range of techniques in the state-of-the-art solvers RoundingSat and Sat4j, including core-guided search and linear programming integration with Farkas certificates and cut generation. Our experimental evaluation shows that proof logging and checking performance in this much more expressive paradigm is now quite close to the level of SAT solving, and hence is clearly practically feasible.

RustSAT: A Library for SAT Solving in Rust

Authors: Christoph Jabs

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

Abstract
State-of-the-art Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solvers constitute a practical and competitive approach for solving various real-world problems. To encourage their widespread adoption, the relatively high barrier of entry following from the low level syntax of SAT and the expert knowledge required to achieve tight integration with SAT solvers should be further reduced. We present RustSAT, a library with the aim of making SAT solving technology readily available in the Rust programming language. RustSAT provides functionality for helping with generating (Max)SAT instances, writing them to, or reading them from files. Furthermore, RustSAT includes interfaces to various state-of-the-art SAT solvers available with a unified Rust API. Lastly, RustSAT implements several encodings for higher level constraints (at-most-one, cardinality, and pseudo-Boolean), which are also available via a C and Python API.

Streamlining Distributed SAT Solver Design

Authors: Dominik Schreiber, Niccolò Rigi-Luperti, and Armin Biere

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

Abstract
Distributed clause-sharing SAT solvers have recently been established as powerful automated reasoning tools that can conquer previously infeasible instances. A common design of distributed SAT solvers is to run many off-the-shelf sequential solvers in parallel, employ some diversification (e.g., restart intervals or decision orders), and share conflict clauses among the solver threads. This approach, naïvely, adopts all best practices of sequential solver design for distributed solving, where these practices may be less useful or even actively detrimental. In this work we diagnose such shortcomings in the state-of-the-art system MallobSat and propose first effective mitigations. In particular, we replace the redundant pre- and inprocessing at all threads with single-core preprocessing that runs next to the parallel search, remove LBD values from the clause-sharing operation, and slim down solver diversification to very few lightweight and uniform methods. Experimental evaluations on up to 3072 cores (64 nodes) confirm that our measures improve performance while also drastically simplifying the SAT solving program that is run in parallel.

Sparsification of the Generalized Persistence Diagrams for Scalability Through Gradient Descent

Authors: Mathieu Carrière, Seunghyun Kim, and Woojin Kim

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

Abstract
The generalized persistence diagram (GPD) is a natural extension of the classical persistence barcode to the setting of multi-parameter persistence and beyond. The GPD is defined as an integer-valued function whose domain is the set of intervals in the indexing poset of a persistence module, and is known to be able to capture richer topological information than its single-parameter counterpart. However, computing the GPD is computationally prohibitive due to the sheer size of the interval set. Restricting the GPD to a subset of intervals provides a way to manage this complexity, compromising discriminating power to some extent. However, identifying and computing an effective restriction of the domain that minimizes the loss of discriminating power remains an open challenge. In this work, we introduce a novel method for optimizing the domain of the GPD through gradient descent optimization. To achieve this, we introduce a loss function tailored to optimize the selection of intervals, balancing computational efficiency and discriminative accuracy. The design of the loss function is based on the known erosion stability property of the GPD. We showcase the efficiency of our sparsification method for dataset classification in supervised machine learning. Experimental results demonstrate that our sparsification method significantly reduces the time required for computing the GPDs associated to several datasets, while maintaining classification accuracies comparable to those achieved using full GPDs. Our method thus opens the way for the use of GPD-based methods to applications at an unprecedented scale.

Tracking the Persistence of Harmonic Chains: Barcode and Stability

Authors: Tao Hou, Salman Parsa, and Bei Wang

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

Abstract
The persistence barcode is a topological descriptor of data that plays a fundamental role in topological data analysis. Given a filtration of data, the persistence barcode tracks the evolution of its homology groups. In this paper, we introduce a new type of barcode, called the harmonic chain barcode, which tracks the evolution of harmonic chains. In addition, we show that the harmonic chain barcode is stable. Given a filtration of a simplicial complex of size m, we present an algorithm to compute its harmonic chain barcode in O(m³) time. Consequently, the harmonic chain barcode can enrich the family of topological descriptors in applications where a persistence barcode is applicable, such as feature vectorization and machine learning.

Standardizing Knowledge Engineering Practices with a Reference Architecture

Authors: Bradley P. Allen and Filip Ilievski

Published in: TGDK, Volume 2, Issue 1 (2024): Special Issue on Trends in Graph Data and Knowledge - Part 2. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 2, Issue 1

Abstract
Knowledge engineering is the process of creating and maintaining knowledge-producing systems. Throughout the history of computer science and AI, knowledge engineering workflows have been widely used given the importance of high-quality knowledge for reliable intelligent agents. Meanwhile, the scope of knowledge engineering, as apparent from its target tasks and use cases, has been shifting, together with its paradigms such as expert systems, semantic web, and language modeling. The intended use cases and supported user requirements between these paradigms have not been analyzed globally, as new paradigms often satisfy prior pain points while possibly introducing new ones. The recent abstraction of systemic patterns into a boxology provides an opening for aligning the requirements and use cases of knowledge engineering with the systems, components, and software that can satisfy them best, however, this direction has not been explored to date. This paper proposes a vision of harmonizing the best practices in the field of knowledge engineering by leveraging the software engineering methodology of creating reference architectures. We describe how a reference architecture can be iteratively designed and implemented to associate user needs with recurring systemic patterns, building on top of existing knowledge engineering workflows and boxologies. We provide a six-step roadmap that can enable the development of such an architecture, consisting of scope definition, selection of information sources, architectural analysis, synthesis of an architecture based on the information source analysis, evaluation through instantiation, and, ultimately, instantiation into a concrete software architecture. We provide an initial design and outcome of the definition of architectural scope, selection of information sources, and analysis. As the remaining steps of design, evaluation, and instantiation of the architecture are largely use-case specific, we provide a detailed description of their procedures and point to relevant examples. We expect that following through on this vision will lead to well-grounded reference architectures for knowledge engineering, will advance the ongoing initiatives of organizing the neurosymbolic knowledge engineering space, and will build new links to the software architectures and data science communities.

Knowledge Engineering Using Large Language Models

Authors: Bradley P. Allen, Lise Stork, and Paul Groth

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
Knowledge engineering is a discipline that focuses on the creation and maintenance of processes that generate and apply knowledge. Traditionally, knowledge engineering approaches have focused on knowledge expressed in formal languages. The emergence of large language models and their capabilities to effectively work with natural language, in its broadest sense, raises questions about the foundations and practice of knowledge engineering. Here, we outline the potential role of LLMs in knowledge engineering, identifying two central directions: 1) creating hybrid neuro-symbolic knowledge systems; and 2) enabling knowledge engineering in natural language. Additionally, we formulate key open research questions to tackle these directions.

A Comprehensive Study of k-Portfolios of Recent SAT Solvers

Authors: Jakob Bach, Ashlin Iser, and Klemens Böhm

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 236, 25th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2022)

Abstract
Hard combinatorial problems such as propositional satisfiability are ubiquitous. The holy grail are solution methods that show good performance on all problem instances. However, new approaches emerge regularly, some of which are complementary to existing solvers in that they only run faster on some instances but not on many others. While portfolios, i.e., sets of solvers, have been touted as useful, putting together such portfolios also needs to be efficient. In particular, it remains an open question how well portfolios can exploit the complementarity of solvers. This paper features a comprehensive analysis of portfolios of recent SAT solvers, the ones from the SAT Competitions 2020 and 2021. We determine optimal portfolios with exact and approximate approaches and study the impact of portfolio size k on performance. We also investigate how effective off-the-shelf prediction models are for instance-specific solver recommendations. One result is that the portfolios found with an approximate approach are as good as the optimal solution in practice. We also observe that marginal returns decrease very quickly with larger k, and our prediction models do not give way to better performance beyond very small portfolio sizes.

PREvant (Preview Servant): Composing Microservices into Reviewable and Testable Applications

Authors: Marc Schreiber

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 78, Joint Post-proceedings of the First and Second International Conference on Microservices (Microservices 2017/2019)

Abstract
This paper introduces PREvant (preview servant), a software tool which provides a simple RESTful API for deploying and composing containerized microservices as reviewable applications. PREvant’s API serves as a connector between continuous delivery pipelines of microservices and the infrastructure that hosts the applications. Based on the REST API and a web interface developers and domain experts at aixigo AG developed quality assurance workflows that help to increase and maintain high microservice quality.
