• Abstract: Data-efficient learning has garnered significant attention, especially given the current trend of large multi-modal models. Recently, dataset distillation has become an effective approach by synthesizing data samples that are essential for network training. However, it remains to be explored which samples are essential for the dataset distillation process itself. In this work, we study the data efficiency and selection for the dataset distillation task. By re-formulating the dynamics of distillation, we provide insight into the inherent redundancy in the real dataset, both theoretically and empirically. We propose to use the empirical loss value as a static data pruning criterion. To further compensate for the variation of the data value in training, we find the most contributing samples based on their causal effects on the distillation. The proposed selection strategy can efficiently exploit the training dataset, outperform the previous SOTA distillation algorithms, and consistently enhance the distillation algorithms, even on much larger-scale and more heterogeneous datasets, e.g., full ImageNet-1K and Kinetics-400. We believe this paradigm will open up new avenues in the dynamics of distillation and pave the way for efficient dataset distillation.

  We introduce Label-Augmented dataset Distillation (LADD) to enhance dataset distillation with label augmentations. LADD sub-samples each synthetic image, generating additional dense labels to capture rich semantics. With three high-performance dataset distillation algorithms, LADD achieves remarkable gains by an average of 14.9% in accuracy.

  We argue that using just one synthetic subset for distillation will not yield optimal generalization performance. PDD synthesizes multiple small sets of synthetic images, each conditioned on the previous sets, and trains the model on the cumulative union of these subsets. Our experiments show that PDD can effectively improve the performance of existing dataset distillation methods by up to 4.3%.

  We propose a new formulation that optimize our distilled data to guide networks to a similar state as those trained on real data. Given a network, we train it for several iterations on our distilled data and optimize the distilled data with respect to the distance between the synthetically trained parameters and the parameters trained on real data. Our method handily outperforms existing methods and also allows us to distill higher-resolution visual data.
