Abstract

Bayesian inference is an important problem with numerous applications in probabilistic reasoning. Counting satisfying assignments is a closely related problem of fundamental theoretical importance. In this paper, we show that plain old DPLL equipped with memorization (an algorithm we call #DPLLCache) can solve both of these problems with time complexity that is at least as good as state-of-the-art exact algorithms, and that it can also achieve the best known time-space tradeoff. We then proceed to show that there are instances where #DPLLCache can achieve an exponential speedup over existing algorithms.
