Robust Budget Allocation via Continuous Submodular Functions
The optimal allocation of resources for maximizing influence, spread of information or coverage, has gained attention in the past years, in particular in machine learning and data mining. But in applications, the parameters of the problem are rarely known exactly, and using wrong parameters can lead to undesirable outcomes. We hence revisit a continuous version of the Budget Allocation or Bipar...
متن کاملAdaptive Maximization of Pointwise Submodular Functions With Budget Constraint
We study the worst-case adaptive optimization problem with budget constraint that is useful for modeling various practical applications in artificial intelligence and machine learning. We investigate the near-optimality of greedy algorithms for this problem with both modular and non-modular cost functions. In both cases, we prove that two simple greedy algorithms are not near-optimal but the be...
متن کاملInequalities on submodular functions via term rewriting
We devise a method for proving inequalities on submodular functions, with a term rewriting flavour. Our method comprises of the following steps: (1) start with a linear combination X of the values of the function; (2) define a set of simplification rules; (3) conclude that X ≥ Y , where Y is a linear combination of a small number of terms which cannot be simplified further; (4) calculate the co...
متن کاملThe allocation problem with submodular utility functions (preliminary version)
We consider the problem of maximizing welfare when allocating items to players with submodular utility functions. Our main result is a way of rounding any fractional solution to a linear programming relaxation to this problem so as to give a feasible solution of welfare at least 1−1/e+2 of the value of the fractional solution, where 2 > 0 is some fixed constant. This resolves the question of wh...
متن کاملSubmodular Risk Allocation
We analyze the optimal allocation of trades to portfolios when the cost associated with an allocation is proportional to each portfolio’s risk. Our investigation is motivated by changes in the over-the-counter derivatives markets, under which some contracts may be traded bilaterally or through central counterparties, splitting a set of trades into two or more portfolios. A derivatives dealer fa...
