Robust Influence Maximization

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper, we address the important issue of uncertainty in the edge influence probability estimates for the well studied influence maximization problem --- the task of finding $k$ seed nodes in a social network to maximize the influence spread.

The Holography of F-maximization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We find new supersymmetric backgrounds of ${\cal N} = 8$ gauged supergravity in four Euclidean dimensions that are dual to deformations of ABJM theory on $S^3$.

The price of gaining: maximization in decision-making, regret and life satisfaction [PDF]

open access: yesJudgment and Decision Making, 2014
Maximizers attempt to find the best solution in decision-making, while satisficers feel comfortable with a good enough solution. Recent results pointed out some critical aspects of this decision-making approach and some concerns about its measurement ...

Network Dimensioning with Maximum Revenue Efficiency for the Fairness Index

open access: yesJournal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2016
Network dimensioning is a specific kind of the resource allocation problem. One of the tasks in the network optimization is to maximize the total flow on given pairs of nodes (so-called demands or paths between source and target).

Adaptive sampling by information maximization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The investigation of input-output systems often requires a sophisticated choice of test inputs to make best use of limited experimental time. Here we present an iterative algorithm that continuously adjusts an ensemble of test inputs online, subject to ...

On the meaning and measurement of maximization [PDF]

open access: yesJudgment and Decision Making, 2016
Building on Herbert Simon’s critique of rational choice theory, Schwartz et al. (2002) proposed that when making choices, some individuals — maximizers — search extensively through many alternatives with the goal of making the best choice, whereas others

Facelifting in Utility Maximization

open access: yes, 2014
We establish the existence and characterization of a primal and a dual facelift - discontinuity of the value function at the terminal time - for utility-maximization in incomplete semimartingale-driven financial markets.

Adjudication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A short (about 1,000 words) overview of adjudication, describing the standard view (judges should just apply the law, when possible) and two goal-oriented views: wealth maximization and the maximization of well-being – i.e., utilitarian ...

HodgeRank with Information Maximization for Crowdsourced Pairwise Ranking Aggregation

open access: yes, 2017
Recently, crowdsourcing has emerged as an effective paradigm for human-powered large scale problem solving in various domains. However, task requester usually has a limited amount of budget, thus it is desirable to have a policy to wisely allocate the ...

Value-Based Inventory Management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The basic financial purpose of a firm is to maximize its value. An inventory management system should also contribute to realization of this basic aim.
