Metric learning with submodular functions [PDF]
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
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.

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 ...

Symmetric Submodular Function Minimization Under Hereditary Family Constraints
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 ...

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
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.
