Selecting molecules with diverse structures and properties by maximizing submodular functions of descriptors learned with graph neural networks [PDF]
Selecting diverse molecules from unexplored areas of chemical space is one of the most important tasks for discovering novel molecules and reactions. This paper proposes a new approach for selecting a subset of diverse molecules from a given molecular ...

Hypergraphs with edge-dependent vertex weights: p-Laplacians and spectral clustering [PDF]
We study p-Laplacians and spectral clustering for a recently proposed hypergraph model that incorporates edge-dependent vertex weights (EDVW). These weights can reflect different importance of vertices within a hyperedge, thus conferring the hypergraph ...

Curvature and Optimal Algorithms for Learning and Minimizing Submodular Functions [PDF]
We investigate three related and important problems connected to machine learning: approximating a submodular function everywhere, learning a submodular function (in a PAC-like setting [53]), and constrained minimization of submodular functions.

Test Suite Reduction via Submodular Function Maximization [PDF]
As regression testing size and cost increase,test suite reduction becomes more important to promote its efficiency.Du-ring the selection of test suite subset,we are supposed to consider the representativeness and diversity of subset,and apply an ...

New Query Lower Bounds for Submodular Function MInimization [PDF]
We consider submodular function minimization in the oracle model: given black-box access to a submodular set function $f:2^{[n]}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, find an element of $\arg\min_S \{f(S)\}$ using as few queries to $f(\cdot)$ as possible. State-of-the-

Weakly Submodular Functions [PDF]
Submodular functions are well-studied in combinatorial optimization, game theory and economics. The natural diminishing returns property makes them suitable for many applications. We study an extension of monotone submodular functions, which we call {\em

Game Theoretic Clustering for Finding Strong Communities [PDF]
We address the challenge of identifying meaningful communities by proposing a model based on convex game theory and a measure of community strength. Many existing community detection methods fail to provide unique solutions, and it remains unclear how ...

On Equivalence of M$^\natural$-concavity of a Set Function and Submodularity of Its Conjugate [PDF]
A fundamental theorem in discrete convex analysis states that a set function is M$^\natural$-concave if and only if its conjugate function is submodular.

Analyzing greedy vaccine allocation algorithms for metapopulation disease models. [PDF]
As observed in the case of COVID-19, effective vaccines for an emerging pandemic tend to be in limited supply initially and must be allocated strategically.

Link-based influence maximization in networks of health promotion professionals. [PDF]
The influence maximization problem (IMP) as classically formulated is based on the strong assumption that "chosen" nodes always adopt the new product. In this paper we propose a new influence maximization problem, referred to as the "Link-based Influence
