Influence maximization (IM) is a classic problem that aims to identify a small group of critical individuals, known as seeds, who can influence the largest number of users in a social network through word-of-mouth. This problem finds…
Given a social network, where each user is associated with a selection cost, the problem of \textsc{Budgeted Influence Maximization} (\emph{BIM Problem} in short) asks to choose a subset of them (known as seed users) within an allocated…
Given a social network of users with selection cost, the \textsc{Budgeted Influence Maximization Problem} (\emph{BIM Problem} in short) asks for selecting a subset of the nodes (known as \emph{seed nodes}) within an allocated budget for…
In the influence maximization (IM) problem, we are given a social network and a budget $k$, and we look for a set of $k$ nodes in the network, called seeds, that maximize the expected number of nodes that are reached by an influence cascade…
Influence maximization (IM) is the task of finding the most important nodes in order to maximize the spread of influence or information on a network. This task is typically studied on static or temporal networks where the complete topology…
Influence maximization (IM) is the problem of identifying a limited number of initial influential users within a social network to maximize the number of influenced users. However, previous research has mostly focused on individual…
For the purpose of maximizing the spread of influence caused by a certain small number k of nodes in a social network, we are asked to find a k-subset of nodes (i.e., a seed set) with the best capacity to influence the nodes not in it. This…
Influence maximization is the task of selecting a small number of seed nodes in a social network to maximize the influence spread from these seeds. It has been widely investigated in the past two decades. In the canonical setting, the…
We study the problem of online influence maximization in social networks. In this problem, a learner aims to identify the set of "best influencers" in a network by interacting with it, i.e., repeatedly selecting seed nodes and observing…
Online influence maximization has attracted much attention as a way to maximize influence spread through a social network while learning the values of unknown network parameters. Most previous works focus on single-item diffusion. In this…
Influence maximization problem attempts to find a small subset of nodes that makes the expected influence spread maximized, which has been researched intensively before. They all assumed that each user in the seed set we select is activated…
Influence maximization is the problem of selecting top $k$ seed nodes in a social network to maximize their influence coverage under certain influence diffusion models. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm IRIE that integrates a new…
The well-known influence maximization problem aims at maximizing the influence of one information cascade in a social network by selecting appropriate seed users prior to the diffusion process. In its adaptive version, additional seed users…
Since the structure of complex networks is often unknown, we may identify the most influential seed nodes by exploring only a part of the underlying network, given a small budget for node queries. We propose IM-META, a solution to influence…
Nowadays, organizations use viral marketing strategies to promote their products through social networks. It is expensive to directly send the product promotional information to all the users in the network. In this context, Kempe et al.…
We consider the problem of maximizing the spread of influence in a social network by choosing a fixed number of initial seeds --- a central problem in the study of network cascades. The majority of existing work on this problem, formally…
Multiplex influence maximization (MIM) asks us to identify a set of seed users such as to maximize the expected number of influenced users in a multiplex network. MIM has been one of central research topics, especially in nowadays social…
Online influence maximization (OIM) is a popular problem in social networks to learn influence propagation model parameters and maximize the influence spread at the same time. Most previous studies focus on the independent cascade (IC)…
Most studies on influence maximization focus on one-shot propagation, i.e. the influence is propagated from seed users only once following a probabilistic diffusion model and users' activation are determined via single cascade. In reality…
Influence maximization (IM) aims at maximizing the spread of influence by offering discounts to influential users (called seeding). In many applications, due to user's privacy concern, overwhelming network scale etc., it is hard to target…
