SC-Square: Future Progress with Machine Learning?

Abstract: The algorithms employed by our communities are often underspecified, and thus have multiple implementation choices, which do not effect the correctness of the output, but do impact the efficiency or even tractability of its production. In this extended abstract, to accompany a keynote talk at the 2021 SC-Square Workshop, we survey recent work (both the author's and from the literature) on the use of Machine Learning technology to improve algorithms of interest to SC-Square.
