Abstract

We present a polynomial-time online algorithm for maximizing the conditional value at risk (CVaR) of a monotone stochastic submodular function. Given T i.i.d. samples from an underlying distribution arriving online, our algorithm produces a sequence of solutions that converges to a (1 - 1/e)-approximate solution with a convergence rate of O(T (-1/4)) for monotone continuous DR-submodular functions. Compared with previous offline algorithms, which require (T ) space, our online algorithm only requires Omega( root T ) space. We extend our online algorithm to portfolio optimization for monotone submodular set functions under a matroid constraint. Experiments conducted on real-world datasets demonstrate that our algorithm can rapidly achieve CVaRs that are comparable to those obtained by existing offline algorithms.
