Influence Maximization in Near-Linear Time: A Martingale Approach
Summary: Near-linear-time influence maximization using martingale-based estimators. Maintains the same (1-1/e-ε)-approx guarantees as the state of the art, while delivering orders-of-magnitude speedups and broader diffusion-model support on networks up to 1.4B edges.
