Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — arXiv

It ranks mainly on source trust: arXiv is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.

The classifier could not identify the subject from the text, so the section was inherited from the source feed. We do not summarise what we cannot identify — this one links straight out.

Link-outLink-out, because the subject could not be identified from the text. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.

Corroboration 0.35 0.39 +0.135 34% 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true.

Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.

What happened

The Graph Coloring Problem (GCP) is NP-hard and DSATUR stands as one of the fastest heuristics for it despite producing colorings that typically use more colors than state-of-the-art coloring algorithms. We propose SSLD (Semidefinite Spectral Learning with DSATUR), which improves DSATUR by preprocessing a first good color class before letting DSATUR complete coloring the rest of the given graph. We obtain this color class from a Semidefinite Programming (SDP), similar to an SDP used to compute the Lov\'asz theta number. To the best of our knowledge, SSLD is the first approach to improve DSATUR by preprocessing through fixed color classes.
