Distributed Submodular Maximization
CoRR, 2014 Many large-scale machine learning problems--clustering, non-parametric learning, kernel machines, etc.--require selecting a small yet representative subset from a large dataset. Such problems can often be reduced to maximizing a submodular set function subject to various constraints.

Resource redeployment as an entry advantage in resource‐poor settings
Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.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.

Optimal Selling Mechanisms With Endogenous Seller Outside Offers
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine a two‐stage selling mechanism design problem, where the buyer makes her report and the seller endogenously decides his effort (hidden investment) to generate a possibly better outside offer. The optimal mechanism shows that the seller's effort depends on the reported value of the buyer; a higher value lowers the seller's incentive ...

Assessing second‐price auctions for parcel exchanges in last‐mile logistics
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract The rapid growth of e‐commerce has led to multiple carriers operating in the same regions, creating opportunities for collaboration. However, logistics companies typically operate independently, leading to inefficiencies. Horizontal cooperation, where carriers share resources and infrastructure, can improve efficiency and reduce costs.

On the Selection of Information Sources for Gossip Spreading
International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2015 Information diffusion is efficient via gossip or rumor spreading in many of the next generation networks. It is of great importance to select some seed nodes as information sources in a network so as to maximize the gossip spreading.
