先验感知与上下文引导的主动概率子采样分组

ICLR 2026 Poster accepted paper at ICLR 2026. Subsampling significantly reduces the number of measurements, thereby streamlining data processing and transfer overhead, and shortening acquisition time across diverse real-world applications. The recently introduced Active Deep Probabilistic Subsampling (A-DPS) approach jointly optimizes both the subsampling pattern and the downstream task model, enabling instance- and subject-specific sampling trajectories and effective adaptation to new data at inference time. However, this approach does not fully leverage valuable dataset priors and relies on top-1 sampling, which can impede the optimization process. Herein, we enhance A-DPS by integrating a deterministic (fixed) prior-informed sampling pattern derived from the training dataset, along with group-based sampling via top-k sampling, to achieve more robust optimization—method we call Prior-aware and context-guided Group-based Active DPS (PGA-DPS).
