Google Research introduces GIST, a novel algorithm for data subset selection that balances diversity and utility with provable guarantees, presented at NeurIPS 2025.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://research.google/blog/introducing-gist-the-next-stage-in-smart-sampling/:

> At NeurIPS 2025, we introduced Greedy Independent Set Thresholding (GIST), a novel algorithm that helps solve this issue by balancing data “diversity” (ensuring the selected data is not redundant) and data “utility“ (data that is relevant and useful for the task).
