Stochastic Optimal Control of Epidemic Processes in Networks
Lars Lorch, Abir De, Samir Bhatt +3
We approach the development of models and control strategies of susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) epidemic processes from the perspective of marked temporal point processes an…
Non-submodular Function Maximization subject to a Matroid Constraint, with Applications
Khashayar Gatmiry, Manuel Gomez-Rodriguez
The standard greedy algorithm has been recently shown to enjoy approximation guarantees for constrained non-submodular nondecreasing set function maximization. While these recent r…
Deep Reinforcement Learning of Marked Temporal Point Processes
Utkarsh Upadhyay, Abir De, Manuel Gomez-Rodriguez
In a wide variety of applications, humans interact with a complex environment by means of asynchronous stochastic discrete events in continuous time. Can we design online intervent…
Steering Social Activity: A Stochastic Optimal Control Point Of View
Ali Zarezade, Abir De, Utkarsh Upadhyay +2
User engagement in online social networking depends critically on the level of social activity in the corresponding platform--the number of online actions, such as posts, shares or…
On the Complexity of Opinions and Online Discussions
Utkarsh Upadhyay, Abir De, Aasish Pappu +1
In an increasingly polarized world, demagogues who reduce complexity down to simple arguments based on emotion are gaining in popularity. Are opinions and online discussions fallin…
