Contention resolution schemes have proven to be an incredibly powerful concept which allows to tackle a broad class of problems. The framework has been initially designed to handle submodular optimization under various types of constraints,…
In a stochastic probing problem we are given a universe $E$, where each element $e \in E$ is active independently with probability $p_e$, and only a probe of e can tell us whether it is active or not. On this universe we execute a process…
We consider the problem of maximizing a non-negative submodular set function $f:2^N \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$ over a ground set $N$ subject to a variety of packing type constraints including (multiple) matroid constraints, knapsack…
We study the correlated stochastic knapsack problem of a submodular target function, with optional additional constraints. We utilize the multilinear extension of submodular function, and bundle it with an adaptation of the relaxed linear…

Relaxation and rounding approaches became a standard and extremely versatile tool for constrained submodular function maximization. One of the most common rounding techniques in this context are contention resolution schemes. Such schemes…
In this paper, we investigate optimization problems with nonnegative and orthogonal constraints, where any feasible matrix of size $n \times p$ exhibits a sparsity pattern such that each row accommodates at most one nonzero entry. Our…
Stochastic optimization of continuous objectives is at the heart of modern machine learning. However, many important problems are of discrete nature and often involve submodular objectives. We seek to unleash the power of stochastic…

We consider minimization of stochastic functionals that are compositions of a (potentially) non-smooth convex function $h$ and smooth function $c$ and, more generally, stochastic weakly-convex functionals. We develop a family of stochastic…
In this paper, we study the non-monotone adaptive submodular maximization problem subject to a knapsack and a $k$-system constraints. The input of our problem is a set of items, where each item has a particular state drawn from a known…
Contention resolution schemes (or CR schemes), introduced by Chekuri, Vondrak and Zenklusen, are a class of randomized rounding algorithms for converting a fractional solution to a relaxation for a down-closed constraint family into an…
In this work, we consider constrained stochastic optimization problems under hidden convexity, i.e., those that admit a convex reformulation via non-linear (but invertible) map $c(\cdot)$. A number of non-convex problems ranging from…
In many submodular optimization applications, datasets are naturally partitioned into disjoint subsets. These scenarios give rise to submodular optimization problems with partition-based constraints, where the desired solution set should be…
