The paper addresses the challenge of representative sampling by defining it as a constrained optimization problem: minimize local fidelity cost subject to global coverage. This approach explicitly balances two often-conflicting objectives. A key finding is the problem's NP-hardness, necessitating efficient heuristic solutions.
A novel scale-aligned local fidelity metric is introduced, based on Local Intrinsic Dimensionality (LID). This metric quantifies how well fine-grained local distributions are preserved, a crucial aspect often overlooked by traditional sampling methods. Theoretical analysis shows its importance for neighborhood-based algorithms.
LASS-NA (LID-aware stratified seeding with Neighbor-Aware cohort selection) is proposed as an efficient sampler. It employs a two-phase framework: first, selecting widely separated initial samples from diverse LID levels for global coverage, and second, jointly selecting nearby neighbors to enhance local fidelity. This neighbor selection is framed as a submodular maximization problem with a provable (1 – 1/e) approximation guarantee.

Impact on Self-Supervised Prototyping
In self-supervised model prototyping on GLOVE embeddings, LASS-NA samples significantly improve model training efficiency and performance. Models trained on LASS-NA samples converge 20% faster (63.2 vs. 79.0 steps) and achieve a 6.2% higher P@10 precision (0.600 vs. 0.565) compared to FL-Greedy, especially under tight data budgets (p=0.1%). This demonstrates LASS-NA's ability to preserve essential local connectivity and data structure for critical downstream tasks.
