Abstract

Description

This talk surveys the recent development of message passing procedures for solving constraint satisfaction problems. The cavity method from statistical physics provides a generalization of the belief propagation strategy that is able to deal with the clustering of solutions in these problems. It allows to derive analytic results on their phase diagrams, and offers a new algorithmic framework.
