Almost Optimal Stochastic Weighted Matching With Few Queries
Soheil Behnezhad, Nima Reyhani · 2017-10-29 · via cs.DS updates on arXiv.org

We consider the {\em stochastic matching} problem. An edge-weighted general (i.e., not necessarily bipartite) graph $G(V, E)$ is given in the input, where each edge in $E$ is {\em realized} independently with probability $p$; the realization is initially unknown, however, we are able to {\em query} the edges to determine whether they are realized. The goal is to query only a small number of edges to find a {\em realized matching} that is sufficiently close to the maximum matching among all realized edges. This problem has received a considerable attention during the past decade due to its numerous real-world applications in kidney-exchange, matchmaking services, online labor markets, and advertisements. Our main result is an {\em adaptive} algorithm that for any arbitrarily small $ε> 0$, finds a $(1-ε)$-approximation in expectation, by querying only $O(1)$ edges per vertex. We further show that our approach leads to a $(1/2-ε)$-approximate {\em non-adaptive} algorithm that also queries only $O(1)$ edges per vertex. Prior to our work, no nontrivial approximation was known for weighted graphs using a constant per-vertex budget. The state-of-the-art adaptive (resp. non-adaptive) algorithm of Maehara and Yamaguchi [SODA 2018] achieves a $(1-ε)$-approximation (resp. $(1/2-ε)$-approximation) by querying up to $O(w\log{n})$ edges per vertex where $w$ denotes the maximum integer edge-weight. Our result is a substantial improvement over this bound and has an appealing message: No matter what the structure of the input graph is, one can get arbitrarily close to the optimum solution by querying only a constant number of edges per vertex. To obtain our results, we introduce novel properties of a generalization of {\em augmenting paths} to weighted matchings that may be of independent interest.
