It is a well studied problem both in the non-Bayesian \cite{pukelsheim2006optimal,atkinson2007optimum,boyd2004convex} and Bayesian setting \cite{chaloner1995bayesian}. Beyond $D$-optimality, several other objectives are encountered in the literature \cite{pukelsheim2006optimal}; many involve some function of the covariance matrix of the estimate of $\beta$, such as $E$-optimality (maximizing the smallest eigenvalue of the covariance of $\beta$) or $T$-optimality (maximizing the trace). Our focus on $D$-optimality is motivated by both its tractability as well as its relationship to the information gain. %are encountered in the literature, though they do not relate to entropy as $D$-optimality. We leave the task of approaching the maximization of such objectives from a strategic point of view as an open problem. + + \subsection{Budget Feasible Mechanisms for General Submodular Functions} Budget feasible mechanism design was originally proposed by \citeN{singer-mechanisms}. Singer considers the problem of maximizing an arbitrary submodular function subject to a budget constraint in the \emph{value query} model, \emph{i.e.} assuming an oracle providing the value of the submodular objective on any given set. Singer shows that there exists a randomized, 112-approximation mechanism for submodular maximization that is \emph{universally truthful} (\emph{i.e.}, it is a randomized mechanism sampled from a distribution over truthful mechanisms). \citeN{chen} improve this result by providing a 7.91-approximate mechanism, and show a corresponding lower bound of $2$ among universally truthful randomized mechanisms for submodular maximization. |
