Some Results about the Contractions and the Pendant Pairs of a Submodular System
Submodularity is an important property of set functions with deep theoretical results and various applications. Submodular systems appear in many applicable area, for example machine learning, economics, computer vision, social science, game theory and combinatorial optimization. Nowadays submodular functions optimization has been attracted by many researchers. Pendant pairs of a symmetric...
متن کاملSubmodular Point Processes with Applications to Machine learning
We introduce a class of discrete point processes that we call the Submodular Point Processes (SPPs). These processes are characterized via a submodular (or supermodular) function, and naturally model notions of information, coverage and diversity, as well as cooperation. Unlike Log-submodular and Log-supermodular distributions (Log-SPPs) such as determinantal point processes (DPPs), SPPs are th...

متن کاملDeep Submodular Functions
We start with an overview of a class of submodular functions called SCMMs (sums of concave composed with non-negative modular functions plus a final arbitrary modular). We then define a new class of submodular functions we call deep submodular functions or DSFs. We show that DSFs are a flexible parametric family of submodular functions that share many of the properties and advantages of deep ne...
متن کاملLearning with Submodular Functions: A Convex Optimization Perspective
Submodular functions are relevant to machine learning for at least two reasons: (1) some problems may be expressed directly as the optimization of submodular functions and (2) the Lovász extension of submodular functions provides a useful set of regularization functions for supervised and unsupervised learning. In this monograph, we present the theory of submodular functions from a convex analy...
