Abstract: We study the online influence maximization (OIM) problem in social networks, where in multiple rounds the learner repeatedly chooses seed nodes to generate cascades, observes the cascade feedback, and gradually learns the best seeds that generate the largest cascade. We focus on two major challenges in this paper. First, we work with \emph{node-level feedback} instead of \emph{edge-level feedback}. The edge-level feedback reveals all edges that pass through information in a cascade, where the node-level feedback only reveals the activated nodes with timestamps. The node-level feedback is arguably more realistic since in practice it is relatively easy to observe who is influenced but very difficult to observe from which relationship (edge) the influence comes from. Second, we use \emph{standard offline oracle} instead of \emph{offline pair-oracle}. To compute a good seed set for the next round, an offline pair-oracle finds the best seed set and the best parameters within the confidence region simultaneously, and such an oracle is difficult to compute due to the combinatorial core of OIM problem. So we focus on how to use the standard offline influence maximization oracle which finds the best seed set given the edge parameters as input. In this paper, we resolve these challenges for the two most popular diffusion models, the independent cascade (IC) and the linear threshold (LT) model. For the IC model, the past research only achieves edge-level feedback, while we present the first $\widetilde{O}(\sqrt{T})$-regret algorithm for the node-level feedback. For the first challenge above, we apply a novel adaptation of the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) approach to learn the graph parameters and its confidence region (a confidence ellipsoid). For the second challenge, we adjust the update procedure to dissect the confidence ellipsoid into confidence intervals on each parameter, so that the standard offline influence maximization oracle is enough. For the LT model, a recent study only provides an OIM solution that meets the first challenge but still requires a pair-oracle. In this paper, we apply a similar technique as in the IC model to replace the pair-oracle with a standard oracle while maintaining $\widetilde{O}(\sqrt{T})$-regret.
