Result diversification with negative type distances by multi-objective evolutionary algorithms [PDF]
The result diversification problem is to select an optimal subset with high “quality” and “diversity” from a given ground set of items, which is popular in various applications such as web-based search, multi-document summarization and ensemble pruning ...

Attempting the Impossible: Enumerating Extremal Submodular Functions for n = 6
Enumerating the extremal submodular functions defined on subsets of a fixed base set has only been done for base sets up to five elements. This paper reports the results of attempting to generate all such functions on a six-element base set.

Metric learning with submodular functions
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.

Extended Deep Submodular Functions [PDF]
We introduce a novel category of set functions called Extended Deep Submodular functions (EDSFs), which are neural network-representable. EDSFs serve as an extension of Deep Submodular Functions (DSFs), inheriting crucial properties from DSFs while addressing innate limitations.

Submodular function minimization and polarity [PDF]
Using polarity, we give an outer polyhedral approximation for the epigraph of set functions. For a submodular function, we prove that the corresponding polar relaxation is exact; hence, it is equivalent to the Lovász extension. The polar approach provides an alternative proof for the convex hull description of the epigraph of a submodular function ...

Quantitative approximation by nonlinear Angheluta-Choquet singular integrals
By using the concept of nonlinear Choquet integral with respect to a capacity and as a generalization of the Poisson-Cauchy-Choquet operators, we introduce the nonlinear Angheluta-Choquet singular integrals with respect to a family of submodular set ...
