Determinantal point process sampling for bioacoustic active learning
Eco-acoustic monitoring generates vast volumes of audio data, making active learning a promising approach for reducing annotation effort while efficiently training reliable biodiversity classifiers. This report presents CARE-DPP, a batch active-learning acquisition method submitted to BioDCASE Active Learning for Bioacoustics 2026 challenge. The method combines class-balanced predictive uncertainty with embedding-space novelty, while a determinantal point process (DPP) objective selects a high-quality and non-redundant acquisition batch. The uncertainty-novelty balance is annealed over the annotation budget: early cycles emphasize geometric coverage, whereas later cycles increasingly exploit classifier uncertainty. To mitigate unreliable early scores, the DPP candidate pool mixes top-quality candidates with a decreasing proportion of random exploration. An adaptive acquisition schedule uses smaller batches early and larger batches later. Evaluated over five repeats on the BirdSet HSN, POW and UHH subsets and on ATBFL, CARE-DPP obtains a mean development AULC of 0.50 for macro mAP, compared with 0.46 for the official CoreSet baseline. Ablations identify DPP batch diversification and the adaptive acquisition schedule as the largest contributors.

Fast Sampling for Strongly Rayleigh Measures with Application to Determinantal Point Processes
In this note we consider sampling from (non-homogeneous) strongly Rayleigh probability measures. As an important corollary, we obtain a fast mixing Markov Chain sampler for Determinantal Point Processes.
Point ProcessesFast determinantal point processes via distortion-free intermediate sampling
Given a fixed $n\times d$ matrix $\mathbf{X}$, where $n\gg d$, we study the complexity of sampling from a distribution over all subsets of rows where the probability of a subset is proportional to the squared volume of t…

We study the approximation of a square-integrable function from a finite number of evaluations on a random set of nodes according to a well-chosen distribution. This is particularly relevant when the function is assumed …

Symmetric determinantal point processes (DPP) are a class of probabilistic models that encode the random selection of items that have a repulsive behavior. They have attracted a lot of attention in machine learning, wher…
Point ProcessesActive Mini-Batch Sampling using Repulsive Point Processes
The convergence speed of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) can be improved by actively selecting mini-batches. We explore sampling schemes where similar data points are less likely to be selected in the same mini-batch. …
