Fast Submodular Function Maximization [PDF]
Submodular functions have many real-world applications, such as document summarization, sensor placement, and image segmentation. For all these applications, the key building block is how to compute the maximum value of a submodular function efficiently.

Submodular optimization plays a significant role in combinatorial problems, since it captures the structure of the edge cuts in graphs, the coverage of sets, and so on. Many data mining and machine learning problems can be cast as submodular maximization

Submodular stochastic probing on matroids [PDF]
In a stochastic probing problem we are given a universe E, where each element e in E is active independently with probability p in [0,1], and only a probe of e can tell us whether it is active or not. On this universe we execute a process that one by one

Submodular Dominance and Applications [PDF]
In submodular optimization we often deal with the expected value of a submodular function $f$ on a distribution $\mathcal{D}$ over sets of elements. In this work we study such submodular expectations for negatively dependent distributions. We introduce a

Constrained robust submodular sensor selection with application to multistatic sonar arrays
The authors develop a framework to select a subset of sensors from a field in which the sensors have an ingrained independence structure. Given an arbitrary independence pattern, the authors construct a graph that denotes pairwise independence between ...

An analysis of approximations for maximizing submodular set functions—I
LetN be a finite set andz be a real-valued function defined on the set of subsets ofN that satisfies z(S)+z(T)źz(SźT)+z(SźT) for allS, T inN. Such a function is called submodular. We consider the problem maxSźN{a(S):|S|≤K,z(S) submodular}. Several hard combinatorial optimization problems can be posed in this framework.

SFExt-PGAbs: Two-Stage Summarization Model for Long Document
Aiming at the fluency problem of extractive method, the accuracy problem of abstractive method, and the important information missing problem caused by truncating the original document before document encoding, this paper proposes a two-stage long ...

New performance guarantees for the greedy maximization of submodular set functions [PDF]
We present new tight performance guarantees for the greedy maximization of nondecreasing submodular set functions. Our main result first provides a performance guarantee in terms of the overlap of the optimal and greedy solutions. As a consequence we improve performance guarantees of Nemhauser, Wolsey and Fisher (1978) and Conforti and Cornuéjols (1984)

On Constructing Finite, Finitely Subadditive Outer Measures, and Submodularity
Given a nonempty abstract set 𝑋, and a covering class 𝒞, and a finite, finitely subadditive outer measure 𝜈, we construct an outer measure 𝜈 and investigate conditions for 𝜈 to be submodular. We then consider several other set functions associated with 𝜈
