Notice: This website is continuously updated as new conference proceedings and journal volumes are published. Consequently, the figures presented here may differ from those reported in our publications.


A brief overview of our methodology is provided on the Methods page, along with references to publications documenting our approach and links to the code and data used in each study.


The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates.

Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Experiments confirm that the proposed method is up to several orders of magnitude faster than DLX. and We conduct experiments with a wide range of benchmark instances of exact cover problems, and confirm that our proposal is up to several orders of magnitude faster than DLX.
Researcher Affiliation Collaboration 1NTT Communication Science Laboratories, NTT Corporation 2Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, Hokkaido University
Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Knuth s algorithm DLX. and Algorithm 2: Algorithm DXZ.
Open Source Code No The paper states 'Algorithms were implemented in C++.' but does not provide any link or explicit statement about the availability of their source code.
Open Datasets Yes Exact cover benchmark dataset used in (Junttila and Kaski 2010)3 contains several artificial exact cover problems. The dataset is available at http://www.tcs.hut.fi/ tjunttil/experiments/CP2010/ and We also used the set partitioning problem benchmark instances available at OR-LIBRARY4.
Dataset Splits No The paper deals with combinatorial problems (exact cover) and does not involve typical machine learning dataset splits (training, validation, test) for model training or evaluation. It uses benchmark problem instances as input.
Hardware Specification Yes Experiments were conducted on a Linux machine with a Xeon E5-2687W 3.10 GHz CPU and 128 GB RAM.
Software Dependencies No The paper states 'Algorithms were implemented in C++.' but does not provide specific version numbers for any libraries, compilers, or other software dependencies used in their implementation.
Experiment Setup Yes We set the sizes of memo cache used in DXZ and its fixed ordered version to 32 MBytes, where every memo cache entry is represented by a pair of a 192-bit (24 Bytes) column ID vector and an 8 Byte pointer indicating a ZDD node (total 32 Bytes) and the memo cache table has 2^20 = 1M entries.
