CRIEG

Description : This package includes the C++ code of the CRIEG algorithm [1] to provide an efficient minimum cost seed selection algorithm with theoretical guarantees for competitive influence maximization. CRIEG utilizes an estimation technique to speed up the influence evaluation by first constructing theoretically grounded sketches under the influence diffusion model based on a competitive reverse influence sampling strategy, and then estimating the influence based on the constructed sketches. Experiments on eight large-scale real-world networks show the high efficiency and effectiveness of CRIEG. README files are included in the package, showing how to use the code.
