Community Exploration: From Offline Optimization to Online Learning
Xiaowei Chen, Weiran Huang, Wei Chen +1
We introduce the community exploration problem that has many real-world applications such as online advertising. In the problem, an explorer allocates limited budget to explore com…
Modeling Local Dependence in Natural Language with Multi-channel Recurrent Neural Networks
Chang Xu, Weiran Huang, Hongwei Wang +2
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) have been widely used in processing natural language tasks and achieve huge success. Traditional RNNs usually treat each token in a sentence unifor…
Combinatorial Pure Exploration with Continuous and Separable Reward Functions and Its Applications (Extended Version)
Weiran Huang, Jungseul Ok, Liang Li +1
We study the Combinatorial Pure Exploration problem with Continuous and Separable reward functions (CPE-CS) in the stochastic multi-armed bandit setting. In a CPE-CS instance, we a…
Multi-Round Influence Maximization
Lichao Sun, Weiran Huang, Philip S. Yu +1
In this paper, we study the Multi-Round Influence Maximization (MRIM) problem, where influence propagates in multiple rounds independently from possibly different seed sets, and th…
