A Multilevel Search Algorithm for the Maximization of Submodular Functions [PDF]

open access: yes
We consider the objective function of a simple recourse problem with fixed technology matrix and integer second-stage variables. Separability due to the simple recourse structure allows to study a one-dimensional version instead.

Expected Maximization of a Concave Utility Function Under Threshold-Based Activation

open access: yesAxioms
Maximizing the expected value of a concave and strictly increasing utility function defines a fundamental class of discrete optimization problems. Among them, coverage decision problems with diminishing marginal returns under uncertainty, typically ...

Optimal Submodular Extensions for Marginal Estimation.

open access: yes, 2018
Submodular extensions of an energy function can be used to efficiently compute approximate marginals via variational inference. The accuracy of the marginals depends crucially on the quality of the submodular extension. To identify the best possible extension, we show an equivalence between the submodular extensions of the energy and the objective ...

Active Learning and Submodular Functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2012Active learning is a machine learning setting where the learning algorithm decides what data is labeled. Submodular functions are a class of set functions for which many optimization problems have efficient ...
