Oct 26, 2015 at 18:03 comment added Sasho Nikolov Why does it suffice to know the parity? What if the permanent is even? After all this is equivalent to deciding if a bipartite graph has a perfect matching. The closest algorithm I know to what you are suggesting is Lovasz's idea of introducing formal variables for each matrix entry and deciding if the determinant is identically zero as a polynomial.
