Interactive Submodular Set Cover
We introduce a natural generalization of submodular set cover and exact active learning with a finite hypothesis class (query learning). We call this new problem interactive submo...

Maximum Coverage Problem with Group Budget Constraints and Applications
We study a variant of the maximum coverage problem which we label the maximum coverage problem with group budget constraints (MCG). We are given a collection of sets S = {S1, S2, ....

The (K, k)-Capacitated Spanning Tree Problem
Abstract. This paper considers a generalization of the capacitated spanning tree, in which some of the nodes have capacity K, and the others have capacity k < K. We prove that t...
