Scalable Influence Maximization for Multiple Products in Continuous-Time Diffusion Networks. |

|---|---|---|
A typical viral marketing model identifies influential users in a social network to maximize a single product adoption assuming unlimited user attention, campaign budgets, and time. In reality, multiple products need campaigns, users have limited attention, convincing users incurs costs, and advertisers have limited budgets and expect the adoptions to be maximized soon. Facing these user, monetary, and timing constraints, we formulate the problem as a submodular maximization task in a continuous-time diffusion model under the intersection of one matroid and multiple knapsack constraints. We propose a randomized algorithm estimating the user inuence in a network (|V| nodes, |E| edges) to an accuracy of ε with n = O(1/ε2) randomizations and O (n|E|+n|V|) computations. By exploiting the influence estimation algorithm as a subroutine, we develop an adaptive threshold greedy algorithm achieving an approximation factor ka/(2 + 2k) of the optimal when ka out of the k knapsack constraints are active. Extensive experiments on networks of millions of nodes demonstrate that the proposed algorithms achieve the state-of-the-art in terms of effectiveness and scalability. |
