Composable Core-sets for Determinant Maximization: A Simple Near-Optimal Algorithm
``Composable core-sets'' are an efficient framework for solving optimization problems in massive data models. In this work, we consider efficient construction of composable core-sets for the determinant maximization problem. This can also be cast as the MAP inference task for determinantal point processes, that have recently gained a lot of interest for modeling diversity and fairness. The problem was recently studied in [IMOR'18], where they designed composable core-sets with the optimal approximation bound of $\tilde O(k)^k$. On the other hand, the more practical Greedy algorithm has been previously used in similar contexts. In this work, first we provide a theoretical approximation guarantee of $O(C^{k^2})$ for the Greedy algorithm in the context of composable core-sets; Further, we propose to use a Local Search based algorithm that while being still practical, achieves a nearly optimal approximation bound of $O(k)^{2k}$; Finally, we implement all three algorithms and show the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm on standard data sets.

Composable Coresets for Determinant Maximization: Greedy is Almost Optimal
Given a set of $n$ vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$, the goal of the \emph{determinant maximization} problem is to pick $k$ vectors with the maximum volume. Determinant maximization is the MAP-inference task for determinantal p…

We study a spectral generalization of classical combinatorial graph spanners to the spectral setting. Given a set of vectors $V\subseteq \Re^d$, we say a set $U\subseteq V$ is an $\alpha$-spectral spanner if for all $v\i…
From Sampling to Optimization on Discrete Domains with Applications to Determinant Maximization
We show a connection between sampling and optimization on discrete domains. For a family of distributions $\mu$ defined on size $k$ subsets of a ground set of elements that is closed under external fields, we show that r…
Point ProcessesDifferentially Private Decomposable Submodular Maximization
We study the problem of differentially private constrained maximization of decomposable submodular functions. A submodular function is decomposable if it takes the form of a sum of submodular functions. The special case …
Simple Weak Coresets for Non-Decomposable Classification Measures
While coresets have been growing in terms of their application, barring few exceptions, they have mostly been limited to unsupervised settings. We consider supervised classification problems, and non-decomposable evaluat…
