Corporate Needs You to Find the Difference: Revisiting Submodular and Supermodular Ratio Optimization Problems

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

We consider the following question: given a submodular or supermodular set function $f:2^V \to \mathbb{R}$, how should one minimize or maximize its average value $f(S)/|S|$ over non-empty subsets $S\subseteq V$? This problem generalizes several well-known objectives including Densest Subgraph (DSG),…

Faster and Scalable Algorithms for Densest Subgraph and Decomposition

NeurIPS 2022accept

We study the densest subgraph problem (DSG) and the densest subgraph local decomposition problem (DSG-LD) in undirected graphs. We also consider supermodular generalizations of these problems. For large scale graphs simple iterative algorithms perform much better in practice than theoretically fast…
