Abstract(in English) | Given a social network, an influence maximization algorithm aims to find a set of influential (seed) nodes in the network such that the expected number of nodes influenced by the seed nodes is maximized under the given cascade model. Most influence maximization algorithms assume that ground-truth influence spread probabilities are available. In reality, however, it is natural to assume that there exists a gap between actual influence spread probability and the influence spread probability used in the influence maximization algorithms. In this paper, we examine the robustness of existing influence maximization algorithms against non-adversarial perturbations of influence spread probabilities. Our results show that the performance of state-of-the-art approximation andheuristic algorithms may be significantly degraded, and lightweight heuristic algorithms can sometimes outperform state-of-the-art algorithms when the perturbations are large. |
