This paper introduces a novel approach to solving the Maximum Satisfiability Problem (MaxSAT) using differentiable functions and neural networks. The proposed methodology eliminates the need for labeled data or training phases, instead leveraging backpropagation to progressively solve MaxSAT instances. Experimental results demonstrate that this approach outperforms two existing solvers and is comparable in terms of solution cost. By exploiting the computational power of GPUs, this technique paves the way for a new generation of solvers that can benefit from neural network GPU acceleration.

This paper uses artificial intelligence to solve complex math problems. It creates a special function that can find solutions to one type of problem, called MaxSAT. This function is then used as part of a bigger computer program that solves the problem more efficiently. The new method doesn’t need any special training or labeled data, and it’s really fast thanks to powerful computers called GPUs. The results show that this approach works well and could be useful for solving other hard math problems.
