Table Summary

Core Terminology

Master key academic terminology through active recall and spaced repetition concepts.

consistent (or legal)

A CSP assignment that does not violate any constraints is called a(n) _____ assignment.

unary constraint

A constraint that restricts the value of a single variable.

binary constraint

A constraint that relates the values of exactly two variables.

global constraint

A constraint involving an arbitrary number of variables.

constraint hypergraph'

A graph where square hypernodes represent n-ary constraints and circles represent variables.

Constraint Optimization Problem (COP)

A CSP that incorporates preference constraints to find an optimal solution is called a(n) _____.
