Adaptive Submodular Optimization under Matroid Constraints
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research(2011)
摘要
Many important problems in discrete optimization require maximization of a
monotonic submodular function subject to matroid constraints. For these
problems, a simple greedy algorithm is guaranteed to obtain near-optimal
solutions. In this article, we extend this classic result to a general class of
adaptive optimization problems under partial observability, where each choice
can depend on observations resulting from past choices. Specifically, we prove
that a natural adaptive greedy algorithm provides a $1/(p+1)$ approximation for
the problem of maximizing an adaptive monotone submodular function subject to
$p$ matroid constraints, and more generally over arbitrary $p$-independence
systems. We illustrate the usefulness of our result on a complex adaptive
match-making application.
