Submodular function maximization problem has been extensively studied recently. A natural variant of submodular function is k-submodular function, which has many applications in real life, such as influence maximization and sensor placement problem. The domain of a k-submodular function has k disjoint subsets, and hence includes submodular function as a special case when k=1. This work investigates the k-submodular function maximization problem with d-knapsack constraints over the sliding window. Based on the smooth histogram technique, we design a deterministic approximation algorithm. Furthermore, we propose a randomized algorithm to improve the approximation ratio.

Two-stage submodular maximization problem under cardinality constraint has been widely studied in machine learning and combinatorial optimization. In this paper, we consider knapsack constraint. In this problem, we give

We investigate the problem of maximizing the sum of submodular and supermodular functions under a fairness constraint. This sum function is non-submodular in general. For an offline model, we introduce two approximation algorithms: A greedy algorithm and a threshold greedy algorithm. For a streaming model, we propose a one-pass streaming algorithm. We also analyze the approximation ratios of these algorithms, which all depend on the total curvature of the supermodular function. The total curvature is computable in polynomial time and widely utilized in the literature.

The clustering problem of big data in the era of artificial intelligence has been widely studied. Because of the huge amount of data, distributed algorithms are often used to deal with big data problems. The distributed computing model has an attractive feature: it can handle massive datasets that cannot be put into the main memory. On the other hand, since many decisions are made automatically by machines in today’s society, algorithm fairness is also an important research area of machine learning. In this paper, we study two fair clustering problems: the centralized fair

The Correlation Clustering Problem (CorCP) is a significant clustering problem based on the similarity of data. It has significant applications in different fields, such as machine learning, biology, and data mining, and many different problems in other areas. In this paper, the Balanced
