  "title": "Scalable Learning of Determinantal Point Processes with Kernel-Structured Interactions",
  "summary": "The method replaces low-rank-plus-diagonal structural constraints on the DPP kernel with a full-rank nonlinear kernel approximated by latent features and random Fourier-style features, trained via a surrogate maximum-likelihood objective with stochastic optimization. Costs include the approximation error of random-feature kernel estimation, hyperparameter sensitivity of the surrogate objective, and implementation effort for a model class outside mainstream ML tooling. It can fail if random-feature rank is too low to capture the true kernel spectrum, if item sets are small enough that exact DPP inference is cheaper and more accurate, or if the downstream task does not actually benefit from learned repulsion.",
  "rationale": "DPPs are a niche diversity-modeling tool rather than a core production need for the stated infrastructure, and the abstract offers no quantified gain, so adoption should wait until a concrete diversification or subset-selection workload justifies it.",
