Boosting Gradient Ascent for Continuous DR-submodular Maximization

no code implementations16 Jan 2024 Qixin Zhang, Zongqi Wan, Zengde Deng, Zaiyi Chen, Xiaoming Sun, Jialin Zhang, Yu Yang

The fundamental idea of our boosting technique is to exploit non-oblivious search to derive a novel auxiliary function $F$, whose stationary points are excellent approximations to the global maximum of the original DR-submodular objective $f$.

Bandit Multi-linear DR-Submodular Maximization and Its Applications on Adversarial Submodular Bandits

no code implementations21 May 2023 Zongqi Wan, Jialin Zhang, Wei Chen, Xiaoming Sun, Zhijie Zhang

Then we reduce submodular bandit with partition matroid constraint and bandit sequential monotone maximization to the online bandit learning of the monotone multi-linear DR-submodular functions, attaining $O(T^{2/3}\log T)$ of $(1-1/e)$-regret in both problems, which improve the existing results.

Near-Term Quantum Computing Techniques: Variational Quantum Algorithms, Error Mitigation, Circuit Compilation, Benchmarking and Classical Simulation

no code implementations16 Nov 2022 He-Liang Huang, Xiao-Yue Xu, Chu Guo, Guojing Tian, Shi-Jie Wei, Xiaoming Sun, Wan-su Bao, Gui-Lu Long

To address this challenge, several near-term quantum computing techniques, including variational quantum algorithms, error mitigation, quantum circuit compilation and benchmarking protocols, have been proposed to characterize and mitigate errors, and to implement algorithms with a certain resistance to noise, so as to enhance the capabilities of near-term quantum devices and explore the boundaries of their ability to realize useful applications.

Quantum Multi-Armed Bandits and Stochastic Linear Bandits Enjoy Logarithmic Regrets

no code implementations30 May 2022 Zongqi Wan, Zhijie Zhang, Tongyang Li, Jialin Zhang, Xiaoming Sun

In this paper, we study MAB and SLB with quantum reward oracles and propose quantum algorithms for both models with $O(\mbox{poly}(\log T))$ regrets, exponentially improving the dependence in terms of $T$.

Bounded Memory Adversarial Bandits with Composite Anonymous Delayed Feedback

no code implementations27 Apr 2022 Zongqi Wan, Xiaoming Sun, Jialin Zhang

Our lower bound works even when the loss sequence is oblivious but the delay is non-oblivious.

New Distinguishers for Negation-Limited Weak Pseudorandom Functions

no code implementations23 Mar 2022 Zhihuai Chen, Siyao Guo, Qian Li, Chengyu Lin, Xiaoming Sun

We show how to distinguish circuits with $\log k$ negations (a. k. a $k$-monotone functions) from uniformly random functions in $\exp\left(\tilde{O}\left(n^{1/3}k^{2/3}\right)\right)$ time using random samples.

Online Influence Maximization under the Independent Cascade Model with Node-Level Feedback

no code implementations13 Sep 2021 Zhijie Zhang, Wei Chen, Xiaoming Sun, Jialin Zhang

We study the online influence maximization (OIM) problem in social networks, where the learner repeatedly chooses seed nodes to generate cascades, observes the cascade feedback, and gradually learns the best seeds that generate the largest cascade in multiple rounds.

Network Inference and Influence Maximization from Samples

no code implementations7 Jun 2021 Zhijie Zhang, Wei Chen, Xiaoming Sun, Jialin Zhang

Our IMS algorithms enhance the learning-and-then-optimization approach by allowing a constant approximation ratio even when the diffusion parameters are hard to learn, and we do not need any assumption related to the network structure or diffusion parameters.

Optimization from Structured Samples for Coverage Functions

no code implementations ICML 2020 Wei Chen, Xiaoming Sun, Jialin Zhang, Zhijie Zhang

We revisit the optimization from samples (OPS) model, which studies the problem of optimizing objective functions directly from the sample data.

Efficient Delivery Policy to Minimize User Traffic Consumption in Guaranteed Advertising

no code implementations23 Nov 2016 Jia Zhang, Zheng Wang, Qian Li, Jialin Zhang, Yanyan Lan, Qiang Li, Xiaoming Sun

In the guaranteed delivery scenario, ad exposures (which are also called impressions in some works) to users are guaranteed by contracts signed in advance between advertisers and publishers.

Randomized Mechanisms for Selling Reserved Instances in Cloud

no code implementations22 Nov 2016 Jia Zhang, Weidong Ma, Tao Qin, Xiaoming Sun, Tie-Yan Liu

We then extend our mechanism to the general case and achieve a competitive ratio $\frac{1}{42\log k\log T}$ for both social welfare and revenue, where $T$ is the ratio of the maximum request length to the minimum request length and $k$ is the ratio of the maximum request value density to the minimum request value density.
