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. Determinantal Point Processes (\DPP s) give a principled, well-calibrated notion of diversity for this task, but their \emph{MAP} objective -- pick a size-$k$ subset $S$ maximizing $\logdet(L_S)
The proliferation of massive datasets and large models necessitates more efficient and principled data selection methods to optimize training and application, making advanced diversity-aware techniques like Spectral DPPs increasingly critical.
This research offers a scalable solution for diversity-aware data selection, a fundamental problem in machine learning that impacts the efficiency, performance, and fairness of AI systems across various applications.
The development of scalable continuous relaxation for Determinantal Point Processes (DPPs) provides AI researchers and practitioners with improved tools for high-quality, diverse data subset selection, reducing computational bottlenecks.
