Abstract

Pioneered by Benczur and Karger for cuts in graphs [STOC'96], sparsification is a fundamental topic with wide-ranging applications that has been studied, e.g., for graphs and hypergraphs, in a combinatorial and a spectral setting, and with additive and multiplicate error bounds. Rafiey and Yoshida recently considered sparsification of decomposable submodular functions [AAAI'22]. We extend their work by presenting an efficient algorithm for a sparsifier for monotone kk-submodular functions of low curvature.
