A MIP Backend for the IDP System (1609.00759v1)
Published 2 Sep 2016 in cs.AI
Abstract: The IDP knowledge base system currently uses MiniSAT(ID) as its backend Constraint Programming (CP) solver. A few similar systems have used a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) solver as backend. However, so far little is known about when the MIP solver is preferable. This paper explores this question. It describes the use of CPLEX as a backend for IDP and reports on experiments comparing both backends.
