In this paper, we provide the first deterministic algorithm that achieves the tight $1-1/e$ approximation guarantee for submodular maximization under a cardinality (size) constraint while making a number of queries that scales only linearly…
Given vectors $v_1,\dots,v_n\in\mathbb{R}^d$ and a matroid $M=([n],I)$, we study the problem of finding a basis $S$ of $M$ such that $\det(\sum_{i \in S}v_i v_i^\top)$ is maximized. This problem appears in a diverse set of areas such as…
We study the problem of maximizing a monotone set function subject to a cardinality constraint $k$ in the setting where some number of elements $\tau$ is deleted from the returned set. The focus of this work is on the worst-case adversarial…
Maximizing a single submodular set function subject to a cardinality constraint is a well-studied and central topic in combinatorial optimization. However, finding a set that maximizes multiple functions at the same time is much less…
This paper develops an efficient algorithm for computing the Euclidean projection onto the top-k-sum constraint, a key operation in financial risk management and matrix optimization problems. Existing projection methods rely on sorting and…
Submodular maximization arises in many applications, and has attracted a lot of research attentions from various areas such as artificial intelligence, finance and operations research. Previous studies mainly consider only one kind of…
In this paper, we present a thorough study of maximizing a regularized non-monotone submodular function subject to various constraints, i.e., $\max \{ g(A) - \ell(A) : A \in \mathcal{F} \}$, where $g \colon 2^\Omega \to \mathbb{R}_+$ is a…
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…
Many algorithms for maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a knapsack constraint rely on the natural greedy heuristic. We present a novel refined analysis of this greedy heuristic which enables us to: $(1)$ reduce the…
This article provides a comprehensive exploration of submodular maximization problems, focusing on those subject to uniform and partition matroids. Crucial for a wide array of applications in fields ranging from computer science to systems…
Submodular maximization with a cardinality constraint can model various problems, and those problems are often very large in practice. For the case where objective functions are monotone, many fast approximation algorithms have been…
Maximizing submodular functions has been increasingly used in many applications of machine learning, such as data summarization, recommendation systems, and feature selection. Moreover, there has been a growing interest in both submodular…
We consider maximizing a monotone submodular function under a cardinality constraint or a knapsack constraint in the streaming setting. In particular, the elements arrive sequentially and at any point of time, the algorithm has access to…
Constrained submodular function maximization has been used in subset selection problems such as selection of most informative sensor locations. While these models have been quite popular, the solutions Constrained submodular function…
With the rapid growth of data in modern applications, parallel algorithms for maximizing non-monotone submodular functions have gained significant attention. In the parallel computation setting, the state-of-the-art approximation ratio of…
In this paper we study the problem of minimizing a submodular function $f : 2^V \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ that is guaranteed to have a $k$-sparse minimizer. We give a deterministic algorithm that computes an additive $\epsilon$-approximate…
We study the online submodular maximization problem with free disposal under a matroid constraint. Elements from some ground set arrive one by one in rounds, and the algorithm maintains a feasible set that is independent in the underlying…
Which ads should we display in sponsored search in order to maximize our revenue? How should we dynamically rank information sources to maximize the value of the ranking? These applications exhibit strong diminishing returns: Redundancy…
We introduce the \emph{submodular objectives chasing problem}, which generalizes many natural and previously-studied problems: a sequence of constrained submodular maximization problems is revealed over time, with both the objective and…
Submodular maximization is one of the central topics in combinatorial optimization. It has found numerous applications in the real world. Streaming algorithms for submodule maximization have gained attention in recent years, allowing for…
