Horde of Bandits using Gaussian Markov Random Fields

no code implementations7 Mar 2017 Sharan Vaswani, Mark Schmidt, Laks. V. S. Lakshmanan

The gang of bandits (GOB) model \cite{cesa2013gang} is a recent contextual bandits framework that shares information between a set of bandit problems, related by a known (possibly noisy) graph.

Adaptive Influence Maximization in Social Networks: Why Commit when You can Adapt?

no code implementations27 Apr 2016 Sharan Vaswani, Laks. V. S. Lakshmanan

A disadvantage of this setting is that the marketer is forced to select all the seeds based solely on a diffusion model.

From Competition to Complementarity: Comparative Influence Diffusion and Maximization

no code implementations1 Jul 2015 Wei Lu, Wei Chen, Laks. V. S. Lakshmanan

We study two natural optimization problems, Self Influence Maximization and Complementary Influence Maximization, in a novel setting with complementary entities.

Influence Maximization with Bandits

no code implementations27 Feb 2015 Sharan Vaswani, Laks. V. S. Lakshmanan, Mark Schmidt

We consider the problem of \emph{influence maximization}, the problem of maximizing the number of people that become aware of a product by finding the `best' set of `seed' users to expose the product to.

A Data-Based Approach to Social Influence Maximization

no code implementations30 Sep 2011 Amit Goyal, Francesco Bonchi, Laks. V. S. Lakshmanan

In particular, we introduce a new model, which we call credit distribution, that directly leverages available propagation traces to learn how influence flows in the network and uses this to estimate expected influence spread.
