Optimizing Social Network Interventions via Hypergradient-Based Recommender System Design

ICML 2025poster

Although social networks have expanded the range of ideas and information accessible to users, they are also criticized for amplifying the polarization of user opinions. Given the inherent complexity of these phenomena, existing approaches to counteract these effects typically rely on handcrafted al…

Fairness in Social Influence Maximization via Optimal Transport

NeurIPS 2024poster

We study fairness in social influence maximization, whereby one seeks to select seeds that spread a given information throughout a network, ensuring balanced outreach among different communities (e.g. demographic groups). In the literature, fairness is often quantified in terms of the expected outre…

Safe Time-Varying Optimization based on Gaussian Processes with Spatio-Temporal Kernel

NeurIPS 2024poster

Ensuring safety is a key aspect in sequential decision making problems, such as robotics or process control. The complexity of the underlying systems often makes finding the optimal decision challenging, especially when the safety-critical system is time-varying. Overcoming the problem of optimizing…
