Constrained sampling and counting are two fundamental problems inartificial intelligence with a diverse range of applications, spanningprobabilistic reasoning and planning to constrained-randomverification. While the theory of these problems was thoroughlyinvestigated in the 1980s, prior work either did not scale toindustrial size instances or gave up correctness guarantees to achievescalability. Recently, we proposed a novel approach that combinesuniversal hashing and SAT solving and scales to formulas with hundredsof thousands of variables without giving up correctnessguarantees. This paper provides an overview of the key ingredients ofthe approach and discusses challenges that need to be overcome tohandle larger real-world instances.
