This paper presents the first combinatorial polynomial algorithm for minimizing bisubmodular functions, extending the scaling algorithm for submodular function minimization due to ...
We describe a combinatorial algorithm which, given a monotone and consistent symmetric set function d on a finite set V in the sense of Rizzi [Riz00], constructs a non trivial set...
Abstract— We study algorithms for the SUBMODULAR MULTIWAY PARTITION problem (SUB-MP). An instance of SUB-MP consists of a finite ground set V , a subset S = {s1, s2, . . . , sk}...
We consider a class of sparsity-inducing regularization terms based on submodular functions. While earlier work has focused on non-decreasing functions, we explore symmetric submo...
Submodular function maximization is a central problem in combinatorial optimization, generalizing many important problems including Max Cut in directed/undirected graphs and in hy...
