--- _id: '25' abstract: - lang: eng text: 'Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) are the standard models for planning under uncertainty with both finite and infinite horizon. Besides the well-known discounted-sum objective, indefinite-horizon objective (aka Goal-POMDPs) is another classical objective for POMDPs. In this case, given a set of target states and a positive cost for each transition, the optimization objective is to minimize the expected total cost until a target state is reached. In the literature, RTDP-Bel or heuristic search value iteration (HSVI) have been used for solving Goal-POMDPs. Neither of these algorithms has theoretical convergence guarantees, and HSVI may even fail to terminate its trials. We give the following contributions: (1) We discuss the challenges introduced in Goal-POMDPs and illustrate how they prevent the original HSVI from converging. (2) We present a novel algorithm inspired by HSVI, termed Goal-HSVI, and show that our algorithm has convergence guarantees. (3) We show that Goal-HSVI outperforms RTDP-Bel on a set of well-known examples.' acknowledgement: '∗This work has been supported by Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF) Project ICT15-003, Austrian Science Fund (FWF) NFN Grant No S11407-N23 (RiSE/SHiNE), and ERC Starting grant (279307: Graph Games).

Traditionally, the goal has been to obtain policies that optimize the expectation of the discounted-sum payoff. A key drawback of the expectation measure is that even low probability events with extreme payoff can significantly affect the expectation, and thus the obtained policies are not necessarily risk-averse. An alternate approach is to optimize the probability that the payoff is above a certain threshold, which allows obtaining risk-averse policies, but ignores optimization of the expectation. We consider the expectation optimization with probabilistic guarantee (EOPG) problem, where the goal is to optimize the expectation ensuring that the payoff is above a given threshold with at least a specified probability. We present several results on the EOPG problem, including the first algorithm to solve it. acknowledgement: "This research was supported by the Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF) grant ICT15-003; Austrian Science Fund (FWF): S11407-N23(RiSE/SHiNE);and an ERC Start Grant (279307:Graph Games).\r\n" article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Adrian full_name: Elgyütt, Adrian id: 4A2E9DBA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Elgyütt - first_name: Petr full_name: Novotny, Petr id: 3CC3B868-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Novotny - first_name: Owen full_name: Rouillé, Owen last_name: Rouillé citation: ama: 'Chatterjee K, Elgyütt A, Novotný P, Rouillé O.

We study a setting in which the sensors are only partially defined and the goal is to synthesize “weakest” additional sensors, such that in the resulting POMDP, there is a small-memory policy for the agent that almost-surely (with probability 1) satisfies a reachability objective. We show that the problem is NP-complete, and present a symbolic algorithm by encoding the problem into SAT instances. We illustrate trade-offs between the amount of memory of the policy and the number of additional sensors on a simple example. We have implemented our approach and consider three classical POMDP examples from the literature, and show that in all the examples the number of sensors can be significantly decreased (as compared to the existing solutions in the literature) without increasing the complexity of the policies. alternative_title: - ICAPS article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Krishnendu full_name: Chatterjee, Krishnendu id: 2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Chatterjee orcid: 0000-0002-4561-241X - first_name: Martin full_name: Chemlík, Martin last_name: Chemlík - first_name: Ufuk full_name: Topcu, Ufuk last_name: Topcu citation: ama: 'Chatterjee K, Chemlík M, Topcu U.

These hands can easily exploit environmental constraints and object surfaces without risk, and safely interact with humans, but present also some challenges. Designing them is difficult, as well as predicting, modelling, and “programming” their interactions with the objects and the environment. This paper tackles the problem of simulating them in a fast and effective way, leveraging on novel and existing simulation technologies. We present a triple-layered simulation framework where dynamic properties such as stiffness are determined from slow but accurate FEM simulation data once, and then condensed into a lumped parameter model that can be used to fast simulate soft fingers and soft hands. We apply our approach to the simulation of soft pneumatic fingers. article_number: '8461106' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Maria full_name: Pozzi, Maria last_name: Pozzi - first_name: Eder full_name: Miguel Villalba, Eder id: 3FB91342-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Miguel Villalba orcid: 0000-0001-5665-0430 - first_name: Raphael full_name: Deimel, Raphael last_name: Deimel - first_name: Monica full_name: Malvezzi, Monica last_name: Malvezzi - first_name: Bernd full_name: Bickel, Bernd id: 49876194-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bickel orcid: 0000-0001-6511-9385 - first_name: Oliver full_name: Brock, Oliver last_name: Brock - first_name: Domenico full_name: Prattichizzo, Domenico last_name: Prattichizzo citation: ama: 'Pozzi M, Miguel Villalba E, Deimel R, et al.

Its underlying protocol (Nakamoto consensus) achieves this by using proof of work, which has the drawback that it causes the consumption of vast amounts of energy to maintain the ledger. Moreover, Bitcoin mining dynamics have become less distributed over time.\r\n\r\nTowards addressing these issues, we propose SpaceMint, a cryptocurrency based on proofs of space instead of proofs of work. Miners in SpaceMint dedicate disk space rather than computation. We argue that SpaceMint’s design solves or alleviates several of Bitcoin’s issues: most notably, its large energy consumption. SpaceMint also rewards smaller miners fairly according to their contribution to the network, thus incentivizing more distributed participation.\r\n\r\nThis paper adapts proof of space to enable its use in cryptocurrency, studies the attacks that can arise against a Bitcoin-like blockchain that uses proof of space, and proposes a new blockchain format and transaction types to address these attacks. Our prototype shows that initializing 1 TB for mining takes about a day (a one-off setup cost), and miners spend on average just a fraction of a second per block mined. Finally, we provide a game-theoretic analysis modeling SpaceMint as an extensive game (the canonical game-theoretic notion for games that take place over time) and show that this stylized game satisfies a strong equilibrium notion, thereby arguing for SpaceMint ’s stability and consensus." alternative_title: - LNCS article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Sunoo full_name: Park, Sunoo last_name: Park - first_name: Albert full_name: Kwon, Albert last_name: Kwon - first_name: Georg full_name: Fuchsbauer, Georg id: 46B4C3EE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Fuchsbauer - first_name: Peter full_name: Gazi, Peter id: 3E0BFE38-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Gazi - first_name: Joel F full_name: Alwen, Joel F id: 2A8DFA8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alwen - first_name: Krzysztof Z full_name: Pietrzak, Krzysztof Z id: 3E04A7AA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Pietrzak orcid: 0000-0002-9139-1654 citation: ama: 'Park S, Kwon A, Fuchsbauer G, Gazi P, Alwen JF, Pietrzak KZ.

How the T cell actomyosin cytoskeleton facilitates this task in distinct environments is incompletely understood. Here, we show that lack of Myosin IXb (Myo9b), a negative regulator of the small GTPase Rho, led to increased Rho-GTP levels and cell surface stiffness in primary T cells. Nonetheless, intravital imaging revealed robust motility of Myo9b−/− CD8+ T cells in lymphoid tissue and similar expansion and differentiation during immune responses. In contrast, accumulation of Myo9b−/− CD8+ T cells in NLTs was strongly impaired. Specifically, Myo9b was required for T cell crossing of basement membranes, such as those which are present between dermis and epidermis. As consequence, Myo9b−/− CD8+ T cells showed impaired control of skin infections. In sum, we show that Myo9b is critical for the CD8+ T cell adaptation from lymphoid to NLT surveillance and the establishment of protective tissue–resident T cell populations. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Federica full_name: Moalli, Federica last_name: Moalli - first_name: Xenia full_name: Ficht, Xenia last_name: Ficht - first_name: Philipp full_name: Germann, Philipp last_name: Germann - first_name: Mykhailo full_name: Vladymyrov, Mykhailo last_name: Vladymyrov - first_name: Bettina full_name: Stolp, Bettina last_name: Stolp - first_name: Ingrid full_name: de Vries, Ingrid id: 4C7D837E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: de Vries - first_name: Ruth full_name: Lyck, Ruth last_name: Lyck - first_name: Jasmin full_name: Balmer, Jasmin last_name: Balmer - first_name: Amleto full_name: Fiocchi, Amleto last_name: Fiocchi - first_name: Mario full_name: Kreutzfeldt, Mario last_name: Kreutzfeldt - first_name: Doron full_name: Merkler, Doron last_name: Merkler - first_name: Matteo full_name: Iannacone, Matteo last_name: Iannacone - first_name: Akitaka full_name: Ariga, Akitaka last_name: Ariga - first_name: Michael H. full_name: Stoffel, Michael H. last_name: Stoffel - first_name: James full_name: Sharpe, James last_name: Sharpe - first_name: Martin full_name: Bähler, Martin last_name: Bähler - first_name: Michael K full_name: Sixt, Michael K id: 41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Sixt orcid: 0000-0002-6620-9179 - first_name: Alba full_name: Diz-Muñoz, Alba last_name: Diz-Muñoz - first_name: Jens V. full_name: Stein, Jens V. last_name: Stein citation: ama: Moalli F, Ficht X, Germann P, et al.

The resolution attained is, correspondingly, approximately fourfold better than the diffraction limit, or ~70 nm. This is a major improvement over conventional microscopy, but still lags behind modern STED or STORM setups, whose resolution can reach 20–30 nm. We addressed this issue here by introducing an improved gel recipe that enables an expansion factor of ~10× in each dimension, which corresponds to an expansion of the sample volume by more than 1,000‐fold. Our protocol, which we termed X10 microscopy, achieves a resolution of 25–30 nm on conventional epifluorescence microscopes. X10 provides multi‐color images similar or even superior to those produced with more challenging methods, such as STED, STORM, and iterative expansion microscopy (iExM). X10 is therefore the cheapest and easiest option for high‐quality super‐resolution imaging currently available. X10 should be usable in any laboratory, irrespective of the machinery owned or of the technical knowledge. article_number: e45836 article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Sven M full_name: Truckenbrodt, Sven M id: 45812BD4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Truckenbrodt - first_name: Manuel full_name: Maidorn, Manuel last_name: Maidorn - first_name: Dagmar full_name: Crzan, Dagmar last_name: Crzan - first_name: Hanna full_name: Wildhagen, Hanna last_name: Wildhagen - first_name: Selda full_name: Kabatas, Selda last_name: Kabatas - first_name: Silvio O full_name: Rizzoli, Silvio O last_name: Rizzoli citation: ama: Truckenbrodt SM, Maidorn M, Crzan D, Wildhagen H, Kabatas S, Rizzoli SO.

Inspired by recent developments in DNA programming, an extensive series of papers, across different communities, has examined the computability and complexity characteristics of this model. Majority, or consensus, is a central task in this model, in which agents need to collectively reach a decision as to which one of two states A or B had a higher initial count. Two metrics are important: the time that a protocol requires to stabilize to an output decision, and the state space size that each agent requires to do so. It is known that majority requires Ω(log log n) states per agent to allow for fast (poly-logarithmic time) stabilization, and that O(log2 n) states are sufficient. Thus, there is an exponential gap between the space upper and lower bounds for this problem. This paper addresses this question.\r\n\r\nOn the negative side, we provide a new lower bound of Ω(log n) states for any protocol which stabilizes in O(n1–c) expected time, for any constant c > 0. This result is conditional on monotonicity and output assumptions, satisfied by all known protocols. Technically, it represents a departure from previous lower bounds, in that it does not rely on the existence of dense configurations. Instead, we introduce a new generalized surgery technique to prove the existence of incorrect executions for any algorithm which would contradict the lower bound. Subsequently, our lower bound also applies to general initial configurations, including ones with a leader. On the positive side, we give a new algorithm for majority which uses O(log n) states, and stabilizes in O(log2 n) expected time. Central to the algorithm is a new leaderless phase clock technique, which allows agents to synchronize in phases of Θ(n log n) consecutive interactions using O(log n) states per agent, exploiting a new connection between population protocols and power-of-two-choices load balancing mechanisms. We also employ our phase clock to build a leader election algorithm with a state space of size O(log n), which stabilizes in O(log2 n) expected time." article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Dan-Adrian full_name: Alistarh, Dan-Adrian id: 4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Alistarh orcid: 0000-0003-3650-940X - first_name: James full_name: Aspnes, James last_name: Aspnes - first_name: Rati full_name: Gelashvili, Rati last_name: Gelashvili citation: ama: 'Alistarh D-A, Aspnes J, Gelashvili R.

Identifying the genomic basis underlying divergence with gene flow is a major task in evolutionary genomics. Most approaches (e.g., outlier scans) focus on genomic regions of high differentiation. However, not all genomic architectures potentially underlying divergence are expected to show extreme differentiation. Here, we develop an approach that combines hybrid zone analysis (i.e., focuses on spatial patterns of allele frequency change) with system-specific simulations to identify loci inconsistent with neutral evolution. We apply this to a genome-wide SNP set from an ideally suited study organism, the intertidal snail Littorina saxatilis, which shows primary divergence between ecotypes associated with different shore habitats. We detect many SNPs with clinal patterns, most of which are consistent with neutrality. Among non-neutral SNPs, most are located within three large putative inversions differentiating ecotypes. Many non-neutral SNPs show relatively low levels of differentiation. We discuss potential reasons for this pattern, including loose linkage to selected variants, polygenic adaptation and a component of balancing selection within populations (which may be expected for inversions). Our work is in line with theory predicting a role for inversions in divergence, and emphasizes that genomic regions contributing to divergence may not always be accessible with methods purely based on allele frequency differences. These conclusions call for approaches that take spatial patterns of allele frequency change into account in other systems. acknowledgement: We are very grateful to people who helped with fieldwork, snail processing, and DNA extractions, particularly Laura Brettell, Mårten Duvetorp, Juan Galindo, Anne-Lise Liabot and Irena Senčić.

Stronger assortment, or greater divergence in mating traits, between species pairs with overlapping ranges is commonly observed, but possible causes of this pattern of reproductive character displacement are difficult to distinguish. We use a multidisciplinary approach to provide a rare example where it is possible to distinguish among hypotheses concerning the evolution of reproductive character displacement. We build on an earlier comparative analysis that illustrated a strong pattern of greater divergence in penis form between pairs of sister species with overlapping ranges than between allopatric sister-species pairs, in a large clade of marine gastropods (Littorinidae). We investigate both assortative mating and divergence in male genitalia in one of the sister-species pairs, discriminating among three contrasting processes each of which can generate a pattern of reproductive character displacement: reinforcement, reproductive interference and the Templeton effect. We demonstrate reproductive character displacement in assortative mating, but not in genital form between this pair of sister species and use demographic models to distinguish among the different processes. Our results support a model with no gene flow since secondary contact and thus favor reproductive interference as the cause of reproductive character displacement for mate choice, rather than reinforcement. High gene flow within species argues against the Templeton effect. Secondary contact appears to have had little impact on genital divergence.' acknowledgement: The authors express a special thanks to Dr Richard Willan at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory for guidance and support in the field, and to Carole Smadja for reading and commenting on the manuscript.

These proteins are bright, but exhibit several drawbacks such as relatively large size, oxygen-dependence, sensitivity to low pH, and limited switching speed. Therefore, RSFPs from other origins with improved properties need to be explored. Here, we report the development of two RSFPs based on the LOV domain of the photoreceptor protein YtvA from Bacillus subtilis. LOV domains obtain their fluorescence by association with the abundant cellular cofactor flavin mononucleotide (FMN). Under illumination with blue and ultraviolet light, they undergo a photocycle, making these proteins inherently photoswitchable. Our first improved variant, rsLOV1, can be used for RESOLFT imaging, whereas rsLOV2 proved useful for STED nanoscopy of living cells with a resolution of down to 50 nm. In addition to their smaller size compared to GFP-related proteins (17 kDa instead of 27 kDa) and their usability at low pH, rsLOV1 and rsLOV2 exhibit faster switching kinetics, switching on and off 3 times faster than rsEGFP2, the fastest-switching RSFP reported to date. Therefore, LOV-domain-based RSFPs have potential for applications where the switching speed of GFP-based proteins is limiting. article_number: '2724' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Carola full_name: Gregor, Carola last_name: Gregor - first_name: Sven C. full_name: Sidenstein, Sven C. last_name: Sidenstein - first_name: Martin full_name: Andresen, Martin last_name: Andresen - first_name: Steffen J. full_name: Sahl, Steffen J. last_name: Sahl - first_name: Johann G full_name: Danzl, Johann G id: 42EFD3B6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Danzl orcid: 0000-0001-8559-3973 - first_name: Stefan W. full_name: Hell, Stefan W. last_name: Hell citation: ama: Gregor C, Sidenstein SC, Andresen M, Sahl SJ, Danzl JG, Hell SW.

SL signalling is perceived by an α/β hydrolase, DWARF 14 (D14). A close homolog of D14, KARRIKIN INSENSTIVE2 (KAI2), is involved in perception of an uncharacterized molecule called karrikin (KAR). Recent studies in Arabidopsis identified the SUPPRESSOR OF MAX2 1 (SMAX1) and SMAX1-LIKE 7 (SMXL7) to be potential SCF–MAX2 complex-mediated proteasome targets of KAI2 and D14, respectively. Genetic studies on SMXL7 and SMAX1 demonstrated distinct developmental roles for each, but very little is known about these repressors in terms of their sequence features. In this study, we performed an extensive comparative analysis of SMXLs and determined their phylogenetic and evolutionary history in the plant lineage. Our results show that SMXL family members can be sub-divided into four distinct phylogenetic clades/classes, with an ancient SMAX1. Further, we identified the clade-specific motifs that have evolved and that might act as determinants of SL-KAR signalling specificity. These specificities resulted from functional diversities among the clades. Our results suggest that a gradual co-evolution of SMXL members with their upstream receptors D14/KAI2 provided an increased specificity to both the SL perception and response in land plants. acknowledgement: "This project received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions and it is co-financed by the South Moravian Region under grant agreement No. 665860 (SS).

How such novel phenotypic traits are acquired in the course of evolution and are built up in developing embryos has been a central question in biology. Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is a process of genome doubling that supplies raw genetic materials and increases genome complexity. Recently, it has been gradually revealed that WGD and subsequent fate changes of duplicated genes can facilitate phenotypic evolution. Here, we review the current understanding of the relationship between WGD and the acquisition of evolutionary novelties. We show some examples of this link and discuss how WGD and subsequent duplicated genes can facilitate phenotypic evolution as well as when such genomic doubling can be advantageous for adaptation. acknowledgement: This work was supported by JSPS overseas research fellowships (Y.M.) and SENSHIN Medical Research Foundation (K.K.T.). article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Moriyama full_name: Yuuta, Moriyama id: 4968E7C8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Yuuta orcid: 0000-0002-2853-8051 - first_name: Kazuko full_name: Koshiba-Takeuchi, Kazuko last_name: Koshiba-Takeuchi citation: ama: Yuuta M, Koshiba-Takeuchi K.

Identifying the genomic basis underlying divergence with gene flow is a major task in evolutionary genomics. Most approaches (e.g. outlier scans) focus on genomic regions of high differentiation. However, not all genomic architectures potentially underlying divergence are expected to show extreme differentiation. Here, we develop an approach that combines hybrid zone analysis (i.e. focuses on spatial patterns of allele frequency change) with system-specific simulations to identify loci inconsistent with neutral evolution. We apply this to a genome-wide SNP set from an ideally-suited study organism, the intertidal snail Littorina saxatilis, which shows primary divergence between ecotypes associated with different shore habitats. We detect many SNPs with clinal patterns, most of which are consistent with neutrality. Among non-neutral SNPs, most are located within three large putative inversions differentiating ecotypes. Many non-neutral SNPs show relatively low levels of differentiation. We discuss potential reasons for this pattern, including loose linkage to selected variants, polygenic adaptation and a component of balancing selection within populations (which may be expected for inversions). Our work is in line with theory predicting a role for inversions in divergence, and emphasises that genomic regions contributing to divergence may not always be accessible with methods purely based on allele frequency differences. These conclusions call for approaches that take spatial patterns of allele frequency change into account in other systems. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Anja M full_name: Westram, Anja M id: 3C147470-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Westram orcid: 0000-0003-1050-4969 - first_name: Marina full_name: Rafajlović, Marina last_name: Rafajlović - first_name: Pragya full_name: Chaube, Pragya last_name: Chaube - first_name: Rui full_name: Faria, Rui last_name: Faria - first_name: Tomas full_name: Larsson, Tomas last_name: Larsson - first_name: Marina full_name: Panova, Marina last_name: Panova - first_name: Mark full_name: Ravinet, Mark last_name: Ravinet - first_name: Anders full_name: Blomberg, Anders last_name: Blomberg - first_name: Bernhard full_name: Mehlig, Bernhard last_name: Mehlig - first_name: Kerstin full_name: Johannesson, Kerstin last_name: Johannesson - first_name: Roger full_name: Butlin, Roger last_name: Butlin citation: ama: 'Westram AM, Rafajlović M, Chaube P, et al.

Stronger assortment, or greater divergence in mating traits, between species pairs with overlapping ranges is commonly observed, but possible causes of this pattern of reproductive character displacement are difficult to distinguish. We use a multidisciplinary approach to provide a rare example where it is possible to distinguish among hypotheses concerning the evolution of reproductive character displacement. We build on an earlier comparative analysis that illustrated a strong pattern of greater divergence in penis form between pairs of sister species with overlapping ranges than between allopatric sister-species pairs, in a large clade of marine gastropods (Littorinidae). We investigate both assortative mating and divergence in male genitalia in one of the sister-species pairs, discriminating among three contrasting processes each of which can generate a pattern of reproductive character displacement: reinforcement, reproductive interference and the Templeton effect. We demonstrate reproductive character displacement in assortative mating, but not in genital form between this pair of sister species and use demographic models to distinguish among the different processes. Our results support a model with no gene flow since secondary contact and thus favour reproductive interference as the cause of reproductive character displacement for mate choice, rather than reinforcement. High gene flow within species argues against the Templeton effect. Secondary contact appears to have had little impact on genital divergence.' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Johan full_name: Hollander, Johan last_name: Hollander - first_name: Mauricio full_name: Montaño-Rendón, Mauricio last_name: Montaño-Rendón - first_name: Giuseppe full_name: Bianco, Giuseppe last_name: Bianco - first_name: Xi full_name: Yang, Xi last_name: Yang - first_name: Anja M full_name: Westram, Anja M id: 3C147470-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Westram orcid: 0000-0003-1050-4969 - first_name: Ludovic full_name: Duvaux, Ludovic last_name: Duvaux - first_name: David G. full_name: Reid, David G. last_name: Reid - first_name: Roger K. full_name: Butlin, Roger K. last_name: Butlin citation: ama: 'Hollander J, Montaño-Rendón M, Bianco G, et al.

We train an agent to automatically choose a sequence of actions for a human annotator to produce a bounding box in a minimal amount of time. Specifically, we consider two actions: box verification [34], where the annotator verifies a box generated by an object detector, and manual box drawing. We explore two kinds of agents, one based on predicting the probability that a box will be positively verified, and the other based on reinforcement learning. We demonstrate that (1) our agents are able to learn efficient annotation strategies in several scenarios, automatically adapting to the image difficulty, the desired quality of the boxes, and the detector strength; (2) in all scenarios the resulting annotation dialogs speed up annotation compared to manual box drawing alone and box verification alone, while also outperforming any fixed combination of verification and drawing in most scenarios; (3) in a realistic scenario where the detector is iteratively re-trained, our agents evolve a series of strategies that reflect the shifting trade-off between verification and drawing as the detector grows stronger.' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Jasper full_name: Uijlings, Jasper last_name: Uijlings - first_name: Ksenia full_name: Konyushkova, Ksenia last_name: Konyushkova - first_name: Christoph full_name: Lampert, Christoph id: 40C20FD2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Lampert orcid: 0000-0001-8622-7887 - first_name: Vittorio full_name: Ferrari, Vittorio last_name: Ferrari citation: ama: 'Uijlings J, Konyushkova K, Lampert C, Ferrari V.

Our algorithm can efficiently solve Boolean CSPs where each variable appears in exactly two constraints (we call it edge CSP) and all constraints are even Δ-matroid relations (represented by lists of tuples). As a consequence of this, we settle the complexity classification of planar Boolean CSPs started by Dvorak and Kupec. Using a reduction to even Δ-matroids, we then extend the tractability result to larger classes of Δ-matroids that we call efficiently coverable. It properly includes classes that were known to be tractable before, namely, co-independent, compact, local, linear, and binary, with the following caveat:We represent Δ-matroids by lists of tuples, while the last two use a representation by matrices. Since an n ×n matrix can represent exponentially many tuples, our tractability result is not strictly stronger than the known algorithm for linear and binary Δ-matroids. article_number: '22' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Alexandr full_name: Kazda, Alexandr id: 3B32BAA8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kazda - first_name: Vladimir full_name: Kolmogorov, Vladimir id: 3D50B0BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kolmogorov - first_name: Michal full_name: Rolinek, Michal id: 3CB3BC06-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Rolinek citation: ama: Kazda A, Kolmogorov V, Rolinek M.
