Consider a $m times n$ Matrix.

Every column represents a class and every row an observation. Every row/observation is a probability distribution, hence every row sums up to 1.
We now want to choose elements $a_i,j$ of the Matrix.

For every column $k_j$ elements have to be chosen, but we can choose just one element per row. The sum of the chosen elements have to be maximized.



I guess this problem is NP-hard. I didn't found an efficient solution.
To prove that, I want to find a reduction from a NP-hard problem to my problem.



Hopefully someone has an idea for a reduction (or an efficient algorithm).

          Duplicate the $j$th column $k_j$ times to reduce to the case in which $k_j = 1$. You are now looking at the assignment problem, which can be solved efficiently.
