Approximate Selection with Guarantees using Proxies
Summary: Introduces algorithms for approximate selection with statistical guarantees using cheap proxies and limited exact identifications from an oracle. Guarantees target precision or recall with high probability, outperforming prior proxy-based methods—up to 30x improvement on real and synthetic datasets. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
