摘要:

在本文中,我们提供了第一个确定性的算法,实现了紧$1-1/e$近似保证子模最大化的基数(大小)约束下,同时使一些查询,规模仅与地面集$n$的大小线性。为了补充我们的结果,我们还显示了强大的信息理论下限。更具体地说,我们表明,当最大基数允许的解决方案是恒定的,没有算法,使一个次线性数量的函数评估可以保证任何恒定的近似比。此外,当约束允许选择一个恒定的分数的地面集,我们表明,任何算法,使少于$Ω(n/\log(n))$功能评估不能执行比一个算法,简单地输出一个均匀的随机子集的地面集的正确大小。然后,我们提供了一个更一般的背包约束,这是第一个线性时间算法,实现$1/2$近似保证这个约束的确定性算法的变体。最后,我们将我们的结果扩展到一般情况下,最大化的单调子模函数的交集的$p$集系统和多个背包约束。我们广泛地评估了我们的算法在多个现实生活中的机器学习应用中的性能,包括电影推荐,位置摘要,twitter文本摘要和视频摘要。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we provide the first deterministic algorithm that achieves the tight $1-1/e$ approximation guarantee for submodular maximization under a cardinality (size) constraint while making a number of queries that scales only linearly with the size of the ground set $n$. To complement our result, we also show strong information-theoretic lower bounds. More specifically, we show that when the maximum cardinality allowed for a solution is constant, no algorithm making a sub-linear number of function evaluations can guarantee any constant approximation ratio. Furthermore, when the constraint allows the selection of a constant fraction of the ground set, we show that any algorithm making fewer than $Ω(n/\log(n))$ function evaluations cannot perform better than an algorithm that simply outputs a uniformly random subset of the ground set of the right size. We then provide a variant of our deterministic algorithm for the more general knapsack constraint, which is the first linear-time algorithm that achieves $1/2$-approximation guarantee for this constraint. Finally, we extend our results to the general case of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to the intersection of a $p$-set system and multiple knapsack constraints. We extensively evaluate the performance of our algorithms on multiple real-life machine learning applications, including movie recommendation, location summarization, twitter text summarization and video summarization.
