Researchers have developed a new method called Manifold Sampling via Entropy Maximization (MASEM) to address the challenge of sampling from complex, disconnected feasible sets. This technique uses a resampling scheme to maximize the entropy of the empirical distribution, effectively improving mixing across different components of the feasible set. MASEM demonstrates significant improvements in efficiency and scalability, outperforming existing methods by an order of magnitude in Sinkhorn distance on various benchmarks. AI
