However, due to complicated dependences on all the features, it is challenging to interpret the resulting cluster assignments. Moshkovitz, Dasgupta, Rashtchian, and Frost proposed an elegant model of explainable k-means and k-median clustering in ICML 2020. In this model, a decision tree with k leaves provides a straightforward characterization of the data set into clusters. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 We study two natural algorithmic questions about explainable clustering. (1) For a given clustering, how to find the ``best explanation'' by using a decision tree with k leaves? (2) For a given set of points, how to find a decision tree with k leaves minimizing the k-means/median objective of the resulting explainable clustering?\u0000To address the first question, we introduce a new model of explainable clustering. Our model, inspired by the notion of outliers in robust statistics, is the following. We are seeking a small number of points (outliers) whose removal makes the existing clustering well-explainable. For addressing the second question, we initiate the study of the model of Moshkovitz et al. from the perspective of multivariate complexity. Our rigorous algorithmic analysis sheds some light on the influence of parameters like the input size, dimension of the data, the number of outliers, the number of clusters, and the approximation ratio, on the computational complexity of explainable clustering.","PeriodicalId":8496,"journal":{"name":"Artif.

This paper studies two aspects of unlabeled-MAPF: (1) offline scenario: solving large instances by centralized approaches with small computation time, and (2) online scenario: executing unlabeled-MAPF despite timing uncertainties of real robots. For this purpose, we propose TSWAP, a novel sub-optimal complete algorithm, which takes an arbitrary initial target assignment then repeats one-timestep path planning with target swapping. TSWAP can adapt to both offline and online scenarios. We empirically demonstrate that Offline TSWAP is highly scalable; providing near-optimal solutions while reducing runtime by orders of magnitude compared to existing approaches. In addition, we present the benefits of Online TSWAP, such as delay tolerance, through real-robot demos.","PeriodicalId":8496,"journal":{"name":"Artif.

The logic has many desirable properties like full introspection and it is able to precisely capture the beliefs of a probabilistic knowledge base in terms of the notion of only-believing. While the proposal is intuitively appealing, it is unclear how to do planning with such logic. The reason behind this is that the logic lacks projection reasoning mechanisms. Projection reasoning, in general, is to decide what holds after actions. Two main solutions to projection exist: regression and progression. Roughly, regression reduces a query about the future to a query about the initial state while progression, on the other hand, changes the initial state according to the effects of actions and then checks whether the formula holds in the updated state. In this paper, we study projection by progression in the logic DS. It is known that the progression of a categorical knowledge base wrt a noise-free action corresponds to what is only-known after that action. We show how to progress a type of probabilistic knowledge base wrt noisy actions by the notion of only-believing after actions. Our notion of only-believing is closely related to Lin and Reiter's notion of progression.","PeriodicalId":8496,"journal":{"name":"Artif.

So far, analyses of these logics need to be done on a case-by-case basis, albeit they share several common features. This calls for a more general choice logic framework, with QCL and CCL as well as some of their derivatives being particular instantiations. We provide such a framework, which allows us, on the one hand, to easily define new choice logics and, on the other hand, to examine properties of different choice logics in a uniform setting. In particular, we investigate strong equivalence, a core concept in non-classical logics for understanding formula simplification, and computational complexity. Our analysis also yields new results for QCL and CCL. For example, we show that the main reasoning task regarding preferred models is ϴ₂P-complete for QCL and CCL, while being Δ₂P-complete for a newly introduced choice logic.","PeriodicalId":8496,"journal":{"name":"Artif.

This additional layer offers various possibilities to generalize abstract argumentation semantics as the re-interpretation of arguments in terms of their claims can be performed at different stages in the evaluation of the framework: One approach is to perform the evaluation entirely at argument-level before interpreting arguments by their claims (inherited semantics); alternatively, one can perform certain steps in the process (e.g., maximization) already in terms of the arguments’ claims (claim-level semantics). The inherent difference of these approaches not only potentially results in different outcomes but, as we will show in this paper, is also mirrored in terms of computational complexity. To this end, we provide a comprehensive complexity analysis of the four main reasoning problems with respect to claim-level variants of preferred, naive, stable, semi-stable and stage semantics and complete the complexity results of inherited semantics by providing corresponding results for semi-stable and stage semantics. Moreover, we show that deciding, whether for a given framework the two approaches of a semantics coincide (concurrence) can be surprisingly hard, ranging up to the third level of the polynomial hierarchy.","PeriodicalId":8496,"journal":{"name":"Artif.
