Submodular Maximization over Multiple Matroids via Generalized Exchange Properties
Submodular-function maximization is a central problem in combinatorial optimization, generalizing many important NP-hard problems including Max Cut in digraphs, graphs and hypergr...

Additive envelopes of continuous functions
We present an iterative method for constructing additive envelopes of continuous functions on a compact set, with contact at a prespecified point. For elements of a class of subm...

On the Hardness of Welfare Maximization in Combinatorial Auctions with Submodular Valuations
We present a new type of monotone submodular functions: multi-peak submodular functions. Roughly speaking, given a family of sets F, we construct a monotone submodular function f ...

Learning to rank relevant and novel documents through user feedback
We consider the problem of learning to rank relevant and novel documents so as to directly maximize a performance metric called Expected Global Utility (EGU), which has several de...

Causal Markov condition for submodular information measures
The causal Markov condition (CMC) is a postulate that links observations to causality. It describes the conditional independences among the observations that are entailed by a cau...
