Fast Length-Squared Sampling for Positive-Semidefinite Matrices

arXiv:2608. 12503v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We describe a simple rejection-sampling-based algorithm to perform length-squared sampling on an $n \times n$ positive-semidefinite (psd) matrix: that is, to sample a column with probability proportional to its squared $\ell_2$-norm.

Any-Dimensional Learning by Sampling

arXiv:2607. 07680v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many machine learning models are defined for inputs of different sizes, such as point clouds containing different numbers of points, sequences of tokens of different lengths, and graphs on different numbers of nodes.

The hyper-scaled NLP bound for maximum-entropy remote sampling

arXiv:2601. 20970v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The maximum-entropy remote sampling problem (MERSP) is to select a subset of $s$ random variables from a set of $n$ random variables, so as to maximize the information concerning a set of target random variables that are not directly observable.
