In Search of Influential Event Organizers in Online Social Networks
Summary: Introduces Influential Cover Set (ICS) to select k skilled users (node attributes) who maximize event participation in online social networks. NP-hard; proposes two greedy algorithms (no guarantees) and a 2-approx method with feasibility guarantees; validated on real networks. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
