Submodular Optimization with Contention Resolution Extensions [PDF]
This paper considers optimizing a submodular function subject to a set of downward closed constraints. Previous literature on this problem has often constructed solutions by (1) discovering a fractional solution to the multi-linear extension and (2 ...

Multi-Agent Maximization of a Monotone Submodular Function via Maximum Consensus [PDF]
This paper studies distributed submodular optimization subject to partition matroid. We work in the value oracle model where the only access of the agents to the utility function is through a black box that returns the utility function value.

Effect of Objective Function on Data-Driven Greedy Sparse Sensor Optimization
The problem of selecting an optimal set of sensors estimating a high-dimensional data is considered. Objective functions based on D-, A-, and E-optimality criteria of optimal design are adopted to greedy methods, that maximize the determinant, minimize ...

Hardness of submodular cost allocation : lattice matching and a simplex coloring conjecture [PDF]
We consider the Minimum Submodular Cost Allocation (MSCA) problem. In this problem, we are given k submodular cost functions f1, ... , fk: 2V -> R+ and the goal is to partition V into k sets A1, ..., Ak so as to minimize the total cost sumi = 1,k fi(Ai).

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

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.

Multimodal Hierarchical Dirichlet Process-Based Active Perception by a Robot
In this paper, we propose an active perception method for recognizing object categories based on the multimodal hierarchical Dirichlet process (MHDP). The MHDP enables a robot to form object categories using multimodal information, e.g., visual, auditory,

Maximizing non-monotone submodular set functions subject to different constraints: Combined algorithms [PDF]
We study the problem of maximizing constrained non-monotone submodular functions and provide approximation algorithms that improve existing algorithms in terms of either the approximation factor or simplicity. Our algorithms combine existing local search and greedy based algorithms. Different constraints that we study are exact cardinality and multiple
