Title
Learning Strategies for Mechanised Building of Decision Procedures
Abstract
In this paper we present an investigation into whether and how decision procedures can be learnt and built automatically. Our approach consists of two stages. First, a refined brute-force search procedure applies exhaustively a set of given elementary methods to try to solve a corpus of conjectures generated by a stochastic context-free grammar. The successful proof traces are saved. In the second stage, a learning algorithm (by Jamnik et al.) tries to extract a required supermethod (i.e., decision procedure) from the given traces. In the paper, this technique is applied to elementary methods that encode the operations of the Fourier-Motzkin's decision procedure for Presburger arithmetic on rational numbers. The results of our experiment are encouraging.
