Sublinear Time Algorithm for Online Weighted Bipartite Matching

Online bipartite matching is a fundamental problem in online algorithms. The goal is to match two sets of vertices to maximize the sum of the edge weights, where for one set of vertices, each vertex and its corresponding edge weights appear in a sequence. Currently, in the practical recommendation system or search engine, the weights are decided by the inner product between the deep representation of a user and the deep representation of an item. The standard online matching needs …
