In simpler terms, they apply heuristics instead of “thinking” logically. Machine learning systems work—often quite well—through correlation, not causation. They can’t explain cause and effect since that’s not how they operate, instead, they point out varying degrees of correlation.

However, the advantages of our model checker are less pronounced when analyzing safety by bounded model checking.

To find a low-cost strategy, FlexFlow uses a cost minimization search to heuristically explore the space and returns the best strategy discovered. Finding the optimal parallelisation strategy is NP-hard, and the number of possible strategies is exponential in the number of operators in the graph. So exhaustive enumeration is out.
