Back to the point. Here is what I did to a first approximation.
I wrote:Is it better to choose the Maximal Disjoint Set for the mapping, or some non-maximal but with more small sized UA? [Issue 1]
If there are more than one similar Disjoint Set candidates, how to weight them and choose the best one? [Issue 2]
How the UA of equal size to be ordered while determining the mapping? [Issue 3]
How the cells within each UA to be ordered? [Issue 4]
How the remaining cells (these that are not members of the chosen Disjoint Set) to be ordered? [Issue 5]

1) Use one of the Maximal DJ Sets
2) Use one of the sets having minimal combinations, i.e. minimal product of UA sizes.
3) Each UA is rated by the number of distinct combinations of disjoint sets. The number of DJ combinations forming maximal cliques has top importance. The number of DJ combinations forming max-1 clique has lower importance, etc. The UA with higher rating is placed at right. (Only UA of same size are reordered in this way, these with less size are at right.)
4) One cell from the UA is removed. The rest of the cells are rated as in 3). The cell resulting in higher rate of the complementary set is placed at right.
5) Same as in 4).
Rating with much UA sets is memory consuming. Initially I used UA of size up to 14 (which definitely will kill the memory for some of the grids). Then reduced the size to 11, and surprisingly this gave better results. Better in later puzzle enuneration, not only in rating calculation. Size matters.

The overhead is ~ 1 minute.

Below is an example log for the grid with 20 17's, scanning for 17.

You don't mention it explicitly, so I'll ask: do you restrict yourself to only minimal unavoidable sets?

Yes.

I am removing all combinations of 5 digits (1,2,3,4,5; 1,2,3,4,6...5,6,7,8,9) (5-rookeries?). For each of them I am solving (< 10M solutions), and removing supersets. This guarantees all UA of size 4..11 are in the list. Then removing all combinations of 5 boxes in the same way adds some extra sets. Result is 60K - 900K minimal UA for about 5-10 minutes. This is improved version of dukso's unav36.
Large amount of U12+ can be found iterating trough maximum (not only maximal) cliques formed by already known UA, and searching for UA within the rest clues. This depends of initial set and therefore doesn't guarantee all UA are found. It is slow - takes hours or days.
The template matching algorithm implemented in Checker (it is your idea, isn't it?) gives faster results for UA12...UA14. I didn't implement it.
I'll publish the source code soon.

Nice observation.

When you throw away non-minimals, how do you do it? I can think of two ways: (A) put the raw list of unavoidables in a heap and repeat { pop smallest, delete all supersets of it }; or (B) for each raw unavoidable U in a solution grid S, keep U iff all solutions of S\U other than S itself have exactly 81-size(U) clues in common with S. It's not clear to me which is quicker.

Probably not my idea as I've no idea what you're referring to!

I am representing UA as 128-bit value in XMM register, 81 bits used.
On each pass (comparing solutions for a combination of givens removed), for each solution a bitmap of values different than original grid is composed (non-minimal UA). Bitmaps are stored in array. Before adding new bitmap at the end of the array, it is compared to all previously stored values. If it is a superset of already added set, it is skipped. If it is a subset, the respective superset in the array is invalidated (all 128 bits are set). After finishing with all solutions, valid bitmaps are added to global UA storage. For global storage I am using C++ STL set associative container, which simply ignores the duplicates coming from different passes.

For bitmapped sets A and B:
A is superset (or duplicate) of B when (A | B) == A.
A is subset of B when B is superset of A.

Note: This works only when all solutions are processed. If some part of the solutions is skipped (due to limitation in solver, memory, etc.), a non-minimal UA could be generated.

A comprehensive validation for minimality of UA is solving and checking for a second solution of a puzzle with all cells given except these in the UA, repeat by removing the UA cells one at a time. It is very fast if the brute force solver knows the original grid and is guessing starting from the "right" digit when possible. This transforms the guessing to marking the branches during the solving process, finding the original grid at first iteration (w/o any wrong guess), and eventually finding a second solution which is very close (in the terms of possible guess branches, or decision tree traversal) to the original grid.

Prepare a static list of known UA sets.
For a given grid, permute the bands, stacks, rows in a band, and columns in a stack in all possible ways.
On each permutation check each known UA for matching the grid. Equal digits in a template must correspond to equal digits in the permutation, and different digits in a template must correspond to different digits in the premutation.

so it backtracks through all n-subsets of the grid which are sudokus and contain a clue in each UA ?

the size of the maximum subset of mutually disjoint unavoidable sets,

is it useful, should it be determined

Yes, yes, and yes. See the first post in this topic for details.

I created new topic in Software section. Please post further comments there.

MD.
