The paper “Cryptarithmetic Playtime” was awarded during the 37th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence, which took place in Athens (Greece).

Abstract: A cryptarithm is a mathematical and logical puzzle in which words form an equation where the letters represent numbers to be determined in a given base. This problem is popular in recreational mathematics, education, and constraint programming. We propose a general, efficient and easy-to-use approach to solve this NP-Complete problem, as well as a hierarchical approach for their generation. The experimental evaluation has generated a large, diverse, and remarkable collection of new cryptarithms.

Margaux Schmied, one of the co-authors, is 3IA Ph.D. (Chair of Jean-Charles Régin).
