Influence Maximization: Near-Optimal Time Complexity Meets Practical Efficiency

Summary: TIM bridges theory and practice for influence maximization under IC, LT, and triggering models. Near-optimal O((k+l)(n+m) log n / e^2) time with (1-1/e - e)-approx and practical heuristics; scales to very large graphs on commodity hardware, beating prior guaranteed methods by orders of magnitude.
