Do Portfolio Solvers Harm?
This content discusses the impact of portfolio solvers on automated reasoning, focusing on the work of Christoph Weidenbach. It explores topics such as CDCL reasoning, Bernays-Schoenfinkel calculi, and the potential of model portfolio calculus. The research direction towards SM portfolio solving is highlighted for advancements in automated reasoning.

Do Portfolio Solvers Harm? Christoph Weidenbach

BS Calculi & End [BaumgartnerFuchsTinelli 2006] [GanzingerKorovin 2003] [PiskacMouraBjorner 2010] [ClaessenSrensson 2003] [BonacinaPlaisted 2016] [PerezVoronkov 2008] [SudaWeidenbachWischnewski 2010] [AlagiWeidenbach 2015] Can we have a Model Portfolio Calculus in the same way CDCL is an Ordering Portfolio Implementation of Ordered Resolution? Research in the Direction of SM Portfolio Solving has more potential for Advances in Automated Reasoning Than Research in SS Portfolio Solving Thanks for your attention.
