What the math gives to ML

The paper provides a constructive framework for choosing spatial measurements by minimizing integrated reconstruction error under a Gaussian random-field model. Its transferable asset is not the wireless application, but the ordinary-kriging error formula and the resulting uncertainty-aware greedy placement rule, which can be used to decide where a coordinate neural field should acquire labels or expensive simulator evaluations. The most direct ML use is active training of neural fields or neural operators: fit a spatial covariance or variogram from current residuals, estimate kriging uncertainty over candidate coordinates, and query locations with the largest expected reconstruction error rather than using uniform samples.

Kriging-guided coordinate sampling

Train a coordinate MLP or neural operator using locations selected by an ordinary-kriging estimate of the unresolved field rather than by uniform random sampling. At each acquisition round, estimate the local reconstruction variance from the current labeled set and query points with the largest variance, optionally weighted by their application importance.
