Complement Submodular Information Measures for Balanced and Robust Data Selection 文章

arXiv:2605.24779v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Submodular optimization has become a fundamental paradigm for data selection, retrieval, summarization, and representation learning due to its ability to model coverage, diversity, and representativeness. However, classical submodular objectives optimize only the selected subset and do not explicitly preserve structural information between the selected subset and the remaining data. In many modern machine learning applications, including train/validation/test splitting, benchmark construction, and robust subset selection, the quality of a selection depends critically on preserving balanced structure across both the selected subset and its complement. In this work, we introduce Complement Submodular Information (CSI), a new class of complement-aware submodular objectives that quantify shared structural information between a subset and its complement.
