• Abstract: Robust Optimization is becoming increasingly important in machine learning applications. This paper studies the problem of robust submodular minimization subject to combinatorial constraints. Constrained Submodular Minimization arises in several applications such as co-operative cuts in image segmentation, co-operative matchings in image correspondence, etc. Many of these models are defined over clusterings of data points (for example pixels in images), and it is important for these models to be robust to perturbations and uncertainty in the data. While several existing papers have studied robust submodular maximization, ours is the first work to study the minimization version under a broad range of combinatorial constraints including cardinality, knapsack, matroid as well as graph-based constraints such as cuts, paths, matchings, and trees. In each case, we provide scalable approximation algorithms and also study hardness bounds. Finally, we empirically demonstrate the utility of our algorithms on synthetic and real-world datasets.

• Consistent Submodular Maximization [27.266085572522847]
  maximizing monotone submodular functions under cardinality constraints is a classic optimization task with several applications in data mining and machine learning. In this paper we study this problem in a dynamic environment with consistency constraints: elements arrive in a streaming fashion and the goal is maintaining a constant approximation to the optimal solution while having a stable solution. We provide algorithms in this setting with different trade-offs between consistency and approximation quality.

  We propose a multi-hierarchical framework for structurally creating a series of surrogate models for a kart frame. For multiscale phenomena, macroscale features are captured on a coarse surrogate, whereas microscale effects are resolved by finer ones. We train a graph-convolutional neural network-based surrogate that learns parameter-dependent low-dimensional latent dynamics on the coarsest representation.

  Laplacian regularized stratified models (LRSM) are models that utilize the explicit or implicit network structure of the sub-problems. This paper shows the importance and sensitivity of graph weights in LRSM, and provably show that the sensitivity can be arbitrarily large. We propose a generic approach to jointly learn the graph while fitting the model parameters by solving a single optimization problem.

  Minimax problems extend beyond the continuous domain to mixed continuous-discrete domains or even fully discrete domains. We introduce the class of convex-submodular minimax problems, where the objective is convex with respect to the continuous variable and submodular with respect to the discrete variable. Our proposed algorithms are iterative and combine tools from both discrete and continuous optimization.
