Candidate Sampling and Target Selection (reading guide)

1 Candidate Sampling and Target Selection

This dossier records the literature/design context for target-conditioned sampling. It is not the owner of ARIA-NBV’s sampler, thresholds, equations, provenance fields, or rollout contract. Those are maintained in the Typst thesis, with executable behavior in Python docstrings, configuration, and tests.

For the canonical roadmap and development decisions see docs/typst/thesis/development/roadmap.typ; for the research questions see docs/typst/thesis/sections/01-research-questions.typ. The related literature pages remain useful as citations: candidate-view dependence and VIN-NBV.

# Candidate Sampling and Target Selection {#candidate-sampling-target-selection}

This dossier records the literature/design context for target-conditioned
sampling. It is not the owner of ARIA-NBV's sampler, thresholds, equations,
provenance fields, or rollout contract. Those are maintained in the [Typst
thesis](../../typst/thesis/main.typ), with executable behavior in Python
docstrings, configuration, and tests.

For the canonical roadmap and development decisions see
`docs/typst/thesis/development/roadmap.typ`; for the research questions see
`docs/typst/thesis/sections/01-research-questions.typ`. The related literature
pages remain useful as citations: [candidate-view dependence](candidate_view_dependence.qmd)
and [VIN-NBV](../literature/vin_nbv.qmd).
