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
This research addresses a critical challenge in AI development: efficiently identifying high-quality and diverse training data from increasingly large datasets, which is essential as AI models scale rapidly.
Improving data selection efficiency directly impacts the cost, speed, and quality of AI model training, offering strategic advantage to developers and nations focused on AI supremacy.
The proposed Weighted Independent Set (WIS) approach offers a more rigorous and effective method for data selection, potentially leading to smaller yet more performant training datasets.
