Review for NeurIPS paper: Can Q-Learning with Graph Networks Learn a Generalizable Branching Heuristic for a SAT Solver?
–Neural Information Processing Systems
Weaknesses: There have been several "proof-of-concept" papers using deep learning for SAT. This paper is an interesting paper, but yet another proof of concept, using relatively small size SAT instances. The paper falls short in terms of showing a true potential for improving the state of the art of Sat Solvers. The experimental section is limited: they mainly consider random 3SAT instances (at the phase transition, which is good) but they are relatively small instances (up to 250 variables when SAT solvers can solve considerably larger problems for satisfiable instances with thousands of variables and millions of clauses and hundreds of variables and thousands of clauses for unsat (see e.g., 2016 SAT competition)). They also consider graph coloring instances but again not very large size problems.
