17 Combining Multiple Pattern Databases Additivity A pattern collection of S = s 1,, s n is a collection P = P 1,, P m, P i S. P is non-conflicting, if no pair of elements of P conflict. Then the sum of PDBs is additive Pattern collection heuristic Admissible, if P is non-conflicting m h P v = h P i(v) i=1 Cost Partitioning Techniques for Multiple Sequence Alignment, Mirko Riesterer, Universität Basel 17

18 Combining Multiple Pattern Databases Conflicting pattern collections may violate admissibility Parts may still be useful? Canonical PDB heuristic (Haslum et al., 2007) h CAN v = max h P (v) s MNS P S Cost Partitioning Techniques for Multiple Sequence Alignment, Mirko Riesterer, Universität Basel 18

19 Combining Multiple Pattern Databases Post-hoc optimization (Pommerening et al., 2013) Use linear programming to solve constrained problem Pattern collection is strictly conflicting if m i=0 P i > 1 Let w 1,, w m be the solution to the linear program that maximizes m h PHO v = w i h P i(v) s. t. w i 1 for all strictly conflicting pattern collections S P i:p i S s. t. 0 w i 1 for all P i i Cost Partitioning Techniques for Multiple Sequence Alignment, Mirko Riesterer, Universität Basel 19

20 Combining Multiple Pattern Databases Post-hoc optimization (Pommerening et al., 2013) h all,k equals h PHO if we choose the same patterns Proof sketch: Four sequences S = s 1, s 2, s 3, s 4 of length 1 s 1 = A, s 2 = C, s 3 = T, s 4 = G Score matrix: A C T G A C T G P = P 1 = s 1, s 2, s 3, P 2 = s 1, s 2, s 4,, P 3 = s 1, s 3, s 4,, P 4 = s 2, s 3, s 4 h P 1 s = 3 h P 2 s = h P 3 s = h P 4 s = 1 h PHO s = = 3 = = h all,3 Cost Partitioning Techniques for Multiple Sequence Alignment, Mirko Riesterer, Universität Basel 20

21 Combining Multiple Pattern Databases A factored representation of MSA with operators i,j O = o x,y x,y 1 i < j n, 0 x l i, 0 y l j } i,j An operator o x,y x,y affects heuristic h P if s i, s j P Example: e.g. edge 3,3,5 4,3,6 is factored into 3 operators: 1,2 {o 3,3 4,3 1,3, o 3,5 4,6 2,3, o 3,5 3,6 } Basic factors for opreators in higher dimensions Less operators than defining all operators Cost Partitioning Techniques for Multiple Sequence Alignment, Mirko Riesterer, Universität Basel 21

23 Cost Partitioning Better estimates than using max. among available? Patterns only consider parts of the problem Combine multiple heuristic values Distribute operator costs among them Formal (Seipp et al., 2017) Given a pattern collection of size m Cost partitioning is a tuple C = c 1,, c m CP heuristic is h C v σ m i=1 h P i,c i (v) s. t. σ m i=1 c i o c o Cost Partitioning Techniques for Multiple Sequence Alignment, Mirko Riesterer, Universität Basel 23

24 Cost Partitioning Greedy zero-one cost partitioning (Haslum et al. 2005; Edelkamp, 2006) Assign full costs to at most one PDB Multiple PDBs affected? Greedily chose from ordering Assign full costs to c i o if o aff(h P i) and o i 1 j=1 aff(h P j) Cost Partitioning Techniques for Multiple Sequence Alignment, Mirko Riesterer, Universität Basel 24

25 ҧ ҧ ҧ Cost Partitioning Saturated cost partitioning (Seipp and Helmert, 2014) Assign exploitable parts of the costs to components Remainder can contribute to other components Saturated cost function Assigns the least possible cost without changing outcome Formal: saturate(h P, c) is the minimal cost function c c with h P,c v = h P,c (v) Saturated cost partitioning C = c 1,, c m remaining cost functions c 0,, c m ҧ c 0 ҧ = c c i = saturate h P i, ҧ c i = c i 1 c i c i 1 Cost Partitioning Techniques for Multiple Sequence Alignment, Mirko Riesterer, Universität Basel 25
