arXiv:2605.15691v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Data selection seeks to identify a compact yet informative subset from large-scale training corpora, balancing sample quality against collection diversity. We formulate this problem as a Weighted Independent Set (WIS) on a similarity graph, where nodes represent data samples weighted by influence, and edges connect semantically redundant pairs. This formulation naturally yields subsets that are simultaneously high-quality and diverse. However, two challenges arise in practice: naive node weights fail to distinguish informative signals from gr
