Spectral Certificates and Projection-DPP Rounding for Determinantal MAP Selection

arXiv:2606. 19411v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Selecting a fixed-size subset that maximizes the determinant of a positive semidefinite kernel is the MAP problem for a size-constrained determinantal point process and the classical maximum-entropy sampling problem.

Spectral DPPs via NEPv: A Scalable Continuous Relaxation of Determinantal MAP for Diversity-Aware Data Selection

arXiv:2606. 19411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Selecting a small, diverse, high-quality subset from a massive pool of candidates is a recurring primitive in modern machine learning -- data curation and coreset selection for training and fine-tuning large models, active-learning batch acquisition, prompt and exemplar selection for in-context learning, retrieval diversification, and experimental design.

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.

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.
