We consider the problem of maximizing a nonnegative submodular set function $f:2^{\mathcal{N}} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+$ subject to a $p$-matchoid constraint in the single-pass streaming setting. Previous work in this context has considered…

The problem of maximizing non-negative monotone submodular functions under a certain constraint has been intensively studied in the last decade. In this paper, we address the problem for functions defined over the integer lattice. Suppose…

We consider a robust formulation, introduced by Krause et al. (2008), of the classical cardinality constrained monotone submodular function maximization problem, and give the first constant factor approximation results. The robustness…

In this paper, we introduce a novel technique for constrained submodular maximization, inspired by barrier functions in continuous optimization. This connection not only improves the running time for constrained submodular maximization but…

Motivated by applications in machine learning, such as subset selection and data summarization, we consider the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to mixed packing and covering constraints. We present a tight…

The greedy algorithm for monotone submodular function maximization subject to cardinality constraint is guaranteed to approximate the optimal solution to within a $1-1/e$ factor. Although it is well known that this guarantee is essentially…

The maximum coverage problem is to select $k$ sets from a collection of sets such that the cardinality of the union of the selected sets is maximized. We consider $(1-1/e-\epsilon)$-approximation algorithms for this NP-hard problem in three…

In this paper, we study the problem of maximizing $k$-submodular functions subject to a knapsack constraint. For monotone objective functions, we present a $\frac{1}{2}(1-e^{-2})\approx 0.432$ greedy approximation algorithm. For the…

Stimulated by practical applications arising from viral marketing. This paper investigates a novel Budgeted $k$-Submodular Maximization problem defined as follows: Given a finite set $V$, a budget $B$ and a $k$-submodular function $f:…

We present a simple combinatorial $\frac{1 -e^{-2}}{2}$-approximation algorithm for maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a knapsack and a matroid constraint. This classic problem is known to be hard to approximate within…

We study the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a matroid independence constraint. For more than a decade, a rich body of work has studied this problem. Initially, a tight approximation of $ (1-\frac{1}{e})$ was…

Balkanski and Singer [5] recently initiated the study of adaptivity (or parallelism) for constrained submodular function maximization, and studied the setting of a cardinality constraint. Very recent improvements for this problem by…

Many tasks in machine learning and data mining, such as data diversification, non-parametric learning, kernel machines, clustering etc., require extracting a small but representative summary from a massive dataset. Often, such problems can…

We consider fast algorithms for monotone submodular maximization subject to a matroid constraint. We assume that the matroid is given as input in an explicit form, and the goal is to obtain the best possible running times for important…

For the problem of maximizing a monotone, submodular function with respect to a cardinality constraint $k$ on a ground set of size $n$, we provide an algorithm that achieves the state-of-the-art in both its empirical performance and its…

We consider the maximization problem of monotone submodular functions under an uncertain knapsack constraint. Specifically, the problem is discussed in the situation that the knapsack capacity is not given explicitly and can be accessed…

Symmetric submodular maximization is an important class of combinatorial optimization problems, including MAX-CUT on graphs and hyper-graphs. The state-of-the-art algorithm for the problem over general constraints has an approximation ratio…

Constrained submodular maximization problems encompass a wide variety of applications, including personalized recommendation, team formation, and revenue maximization via viral marketing. The massive instances occurring in modern day…

We study the recently introduced idea of worst-case sensitivity for monotone submodular maximization with cardinality constraint $k$, which captures the degree to which the output argument changes on deletion of an element in the input. We…

The need for real time analysis of rapidly producing data streams (e.g., video and image streams) motivated the design of streaming algorithms that can efficiently extract and summarize useful information from massive data "on the fly".…
