KUS generates uniform samples by using a compiled deterministic decomposable negation normal form (d-DNNF) of a CNF. It expects the d-DNNF in the same format as that produced by the C2D compiler and CNF in the DIMACS format.
sudo apt-get install graphviz
pip install -r requirements.txtFor now, D4 compiler is included as default for compiling CNF to d-DNNF. Any other compiler can be easily used with slight modifications.
You can run KUS by using 'KUS.py' Python script. A simple invocation looks as follows:
python KUS.py <cnffile>The usage instructions and default values to arguments can be found by running
python KUS.py -hThe output samples are stored in samples.txt by default. Each line of the output consists of a serial number of the sample followed by a satisfying assignment. The satisfying assignment consists of literals seperated by space. Note that turning random assignment (--randAssign) to 0 can lead to partial assignments in each line. In such cases, the unassigned variables can be chosen to be True or False.
Also, KUS can output a graphical representation of tree for the input NNF. In this tree, the leaves consists of literals and internal nodes can be OR ('O') or AND ('A') nodes as expected for an NNF. However, internal nodes also contain 2 numbers seperated by space in our representation. This second one gives the annotation. The first one, only serves the purpose of distinguishing between individual OR and AND nodes and has no other meaning.

abstract={Uniform sampling has drawn diverse applications in programming languages and software engineering, like in constrained-random verification (CRV), constrained-fuzzing and bug synthesis. The effectiveness of these applications depend on the uniformity of test stimuli generated from a given set of constraints. Despite significant progress over the past few years, the performance of the state of the art techniques still falls short of those of heuristic methods employed in the industry which sacrifice either uniformity or scalability when generating stimuli. In this paper, we propose a new approach to the uniform generation that builds on recent progress in knowledge compilation. The primary contribution of this paper is marrying knowledge compilation with uniform sampling: our algorithm, KUS, employs the state-of-the-art knowledge compilers to first compile constraints into d-DNNF form, and then, generates samples by making two passes over the compiled representation. We show that KUS is able to significantly outperform existing state-of-the-art algorithms, SPUR and UniGen2, by up to 3 orders of magnitude in terms of runtime while achieving a geometric speedup of 1.7 and 8.3 over SPUR and UniGen2 respectively. Also, KUS achieves a lower PAR-2 score, around 0.82x that of SPUR and 0.38x that of UniGen2. Furthermore, KUS achieves speedups of up to 3 orders of magnitude for incremental sampling. The distribution generated by KUS is statistically indistinguishable from that generated by an ideal uniform sampler. Moreover, KUS is almost oblivious to the number of samples requested.},
