🤖 AI Summary
This paper presents a systematic review of recent advances in Maximum Entropy Sampling (MES) following the 2022 monograph. Addressing the core challenge of high computational complexity and poor scalability of MES in high-dimensional, large-scale settings, the work integrates integer programming, submodular optimization, and efficient approximation algorithms to develop novel scalable optimization models and solution frameworks. Methodologically, it innovatively unifies statistical modeling with machine learning requirements, achieving entropy-maximizing sample selection while substantially improving computational efficiency. Empirically, the proposed approaches demonstrate superior sample representativeness, generalization performance, and deployment feasibility across experimental design and active learning tasks. The contributions include both theoretical foundations—such as new tractable formulations and approximation guarantees—and practical tools for efficient data acquisition in complex systems.
