Debunking the Myths of Influence Maximization: An In-Depth Benchmarking Study

Summary: Benchmarks IM methods under identical conditions via a unified platform, enabling apples-to-apples comparisons. Finds deficiencies, debunks IM myths, and shows no universally dominant technique; performance depends on the metric. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
