Metric learning with submodular functions [PDF]

open access: yesNeurocomputing, 2020
Abstract Most of the metric learning mainly focuses on using single feature weights with Lp norms, or the pair of features with Mahalanobis distances to learn the similarities between the samples, while ignoring the potential value of higher-order interactions in the feature space.

Near-Optimal Convergent Approach for Composed Influence Maximization Problem in Social Networks

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Crowd psychology is a critical factor when considering information diffusion, which has been modeled as composed influence. The composed influence is represented as a hyperedge in a graph model.

Noisy Submodular Maximization via Adaptive Sampling with Applications to Crowdsourced Image Collection Summarization

open access: yes, 2015
We address the problem of maximizing an unknown submodular function that can only be accessed via noisy evaluations. Our work is motivated by the task of summarizing content, e.g., image collections, by leveraging users' feedback in form of clicks or ...

Reconsidering Volume‐Based Drug Procurement Policy: The Consequences of Manufacturers' Optimal Production Planning and Breach Strategies

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impacts of Volume‐Based Procurement (VBP) policies on pharmaceutical supply chains, with a focus on the strategic behaviors of manufacturers. VBP aims to reduce costs and stabilize supplies by centralizing procurement through competition based on volumes and prices.

Symmetric Submodular Function Minimization Under Hereditary Family Constraints

open access: yes, 2010
We present an efficient algorithm to find non-empty minimizers of a symmetric submodular function over any family of sets closed under inclusion. This for example includes families defined by a cardinality constraint, a knapsack constraint, a matroid ...

The Weak Core, Partition‐Based Universal Stability, and Their Risk Associations Through A Partial Order

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We are concerned with the stability of a transferable‐utility cooperative (TU) game. First, the concept of core can be weakened so that the blocking of changes is limited to only those with multilateral backings. This principle of consensual blocking, as well as the traditional core‐defining one of unilateral blocking and one straddling in ...

Resource redeployment as an entry advantage in resource‐poor settings

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Scarcity of productive factors poses a challenge for firms entering underdeveloped regions. We theorize that incumbent firms can overcome scarcity of skilled human capital in local labor markets by redeploying workers from existing units.
