Given a Boolean specification between a set of inputs and outputs, the problem of Boolean functional synthesis is to synthesise each output as a function of inputs such that the specification is met. Although the past few years have witnessed intense algorithmic development, accomplishing scalability remains the holy grail. The state of-the-art approach combines machine learning and automated reasoning to synthesise Boolean functions efficiently. In this paper, we propose four algorithmic improvements for a data-driven framework for functional synthesis: using a dependency-driven multi-classifier to learn candidate function, extracting uniquely defined functions by interpolation, variables retention, and using lexicographic MaxSAT to repair candidates. We integrate these improvements into the state-of-the-art frame- work, called Manthan. The resulting framework, Manthan2, shows significantly improved runtime performance compared to Manthan. In an extensive experimental evaluation on 609 benchmarks, Manthan2 is able to synthesise a Boolean function vector for 509 instances compared to 356 instances solved by Manthan - an increment of 153 instances over the state of-the-art. To put this into perspective, Manthan improved on the prior state of the art by only 76 instances.
