Abstract

Extracting representative elements from a large stream of data is an important and interesting problem. Such problem can be formulated as maximizing a normalized monotone non-submodular set function subject to a cardinality constraint. In this paper, we first present an algorithm called Non-SubModular-Sieve-Streaming\(^{++}\) for solving this problem by utilizing the concept of diminishing-return ratio, which requires only one pass over the data and obtain tight approximation ratio and minimum memory complexity. Then, for reducing the number of adaptive complexity, we propose an algorithm called Non-SubModular-Batch-Sieve-Streaming\(^{++}\) by buffering a small fraction of the stream and applying a filtering procedure. We analyze the approximation ratios of the two algorithms, which generalize the results of Sieve-Streaming\(^{++}\) and Batch-Sieve-Streaming\(^{++}\) to the non-submodular case. Finally, we illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the two algorithms through a numerical example and compare the corresponding results with the existing algorithms.
