In this paper we take a step back from the differences between MDS and TLS and consider the following question: Can MDS optimization models be expanded to yield scalable, well-performing TLS models that take into account the temporal properties of TLS, while keeping MDS advantages such as modularity and performance guarantees?
we make the following contributions: • We adapt the submodular function model of Lin and Bilmes (2011) to TLS (Section 3).
