Many large-scale machine learning problems--clustering, non-parametric learning, kernel machines, etc.--require selecting a small yet representative subset from a large dataset. Such problems can often be reduced to maximizing a 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…
In this paper, we apply a Threshold-Decreasing Algorithm to maximize $k$-submodular functions under a matroid constraint, which reduces the query complexity of the algorithm compared to the greedy algorithm with little loss in approximation…
Maximizing a monotone submodular function is a fundamental task in machine learning. In this paper, we study the deletion robust version of the problem under the classic matroids constraint. Here the goal is to extract a small size summary…
Submodular maximization over a matroid constraint is a fundamental problem with various applications in machine learning. Some of these applications involve decision-making over datapoints with sensitive attributes such as gender or race.…
In this work we present the first practical $\left(\frac{1}{e}-\epsilon\right)$-approximation algorithm to maximise a general non-negative submodular function subject to a matroid constraint. Our algorithm is based on combining the…
In this work, we study the classical problem of maximizing a submodular function subject to a matroid constraint. We develop deterministic algorithms that are very parsimonious with respect to querying the submodular function, for both the…
We consider the problem of maximizing a submodular function with access to a noisy value oracle for the function instead of an exact value oracle. Similar to prior work, we assume that the noisy oracle is persistent in that multiple calls…
Robust Optimization is becoming increasingly important in machine learning applications. This paper studies the problem of robust submodular minimization subject to combinatorial constraints. Constrained Submodular Minimization arises in…
We present combinatorial and parallelizable algorithms for maximization of a submodular function, not necessarily monotone, with respect to a size constraint. We improve the best approximation factor achieved by an algorithm that has…
Submodular maximization is one of the central topics in combinatorial optimization. It has found numerous applications in the real world. In the past decades, a series of algorithms have been proposed for this problem. However, most of the…
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 this paper, we develop fast algorithms for two stochastic submodular maximization problems. We start with the well-studied adaptive submodular maximization problem subject to a cardinality constraint. We develop the first linear-time…
For many optimization problems in machine learning, finding an optimal solution is computationally intractable and we seek algorithms that perform well in practice. Since computational intractability often results from pathological…
DR-submodular continuous functions are important objectives with wide real-world applications spanning MAP inference in determinantal point processes (DPPs), and mean-field inference for probabilistic submodular models, amongst others.…
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…
In this work, we study the problem of finding the maximum value of a non-negative submodular function subject to a limit on the number of items selected, a ubiquitous problem that appears in many applications, such as data summarization and…
Submodular function maximization has been studied extensively in recent years under various constraints and models. The problem plays a major role in various disciplines. We study a natural online variant of this problem in which elements…
The problem of maximizing a constrained monotone set function has many practical applications and generalizes many combinatorial problems. Unfortunately, it is generally not possible to maximize a monotone set function up to an acceptable…
A natural and important generalization of submodularity -- $k$-submodularity -- applies to set functions with $k$ arguments and appears in a broad range of applications, such as infrastructure design, machine learning, and healthcare. In…
