Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical In this paper we describe a technique that yields strong guarantees for maximization of monotone submodular functions from approximate surrogates under cardinality and intersection of matroid constraints. In particular, we show tight guarantees for maximization under a cardinality constraint and 1/(1 + P) approximation under intersection of P matroids.
