CuBAS: Information Geometric Curvature-Based Adaptive Sampling for Supervised Classification
arXiv:2607.03145v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The informativeness of a training set is as consequential as its size, yet most sampling strategies remain agnostic to the intrinsic geometry of the data distribution. We introduce CuBAS (Curvature-Based Adaptive Sampling), an information-geometric framework for adaptive data selection in supervised classification, grounded in the q-state Potts Markov random field (MRF) model. The central insight is that a labeled dataset can be viewed as a statistical manifold, on which local curvature, estimated via the ratio of second to first-order observed
The proliferation of complex AI models and the increasing cost of training data highlight the need for more efficient and intelligent sampling strategies.
Improving data sampling efficiency can significantly reduce computational resources and time required for training, impacting the cost and accessibility of advanced AI.
The proposed CuBAS framework offers a novel, theoretically grounded method for adaptive data selection, potentially leading to more robust and resource-efficient supervised classification.
