Step-wise explanations can explain logic puzzles and other satisfaction problems by showing how to derive decisions step by step. Each step consists of a set of constraints that derive an assignment to one or more decision variables. However, many candidate explanation steps exist, with different se
The Sudoku Assistant app is an AI assistant that uses a combination of machine learning and constraint programming techniques, to interpret and explain a pen-and-paper Sudoku scanned with a smartphone. Although the demo is about Sudoku, the underlying techniques are equally applicable to other const…
We build on a recently proposed method for explaining solutions of constraint satisfaction problems. An explanation here is a sequence of simple inference steps, where the simplicity of an inference step is measured by the number and types of constraints and facts used, and where the sequence explai…
