• Abstract summary: Deep learning models often require large amounts of data for training, leading to increased costs. We present two data valuation metrics based on Synaptic Intelligence and gradient norms, respectively, to study redundancy in real-world image data. Online and offline data selection algorithms are then proposed via clustering and grouping based on the examined data values.

• Abstract: Deep learning models often require large amounts of data for training, leading to increased costs. It is particularly challenging in medical imaging, i.e., gathering distributed data for centralized training, and meanwhile, obtaining quality labels remains a tedious job. Many methods have been proposed to address this issue in various training paradigms, e.g., continual learning, active learning, and federated learning, which indeed demonstrate certain forms of the data valuation process. However, existing methods are either overly intuitive or limited to common clean/toy datasets in the experiments. In this work, we present two data valuation metrics based on Synaptic Intelligence and gradient norms, respectively, to study the redundancy in real-world image data. Novel online and offline data selection algorithms are then proposed via clustering and grouping based on the examined data values. Our online approach effectively evaluates data utilizing layerwise model parameter updates and gradients in each epoch and can accelerate model training with fewer epochs and a subset (e.g., 19%-59%) of data while maintaining equivalent levels of accuracy in a variety of datasets. It also extends to the offline coreset construction, producing subsets of only 18%-30% of the original. The codes for the proposed adaptive data selection and coreset computation are available (https://github.com/ZhenyuTANG2023/data_selection).

  Recent data-privacy laws have sparked interest in machine unlearning. Challenge is to discard information about the forget'' data without altering knowledge about remaining dataset. We adopt a projected-gradient based learning method, named as Projected-Gradient Unlearning (PGU) We provide empirically evidence to demonstrate that our unlearning method can produce models that behave similar to models retrained from scratch across various metrics even when the training dataset is no longer accessible.

  Coreset selection seeks to select a subset of the training data so as to maximize the performance of models trained on this subset, also referred to as coreset. We propose a novel pruning algorithm, D2 Pruning, that uses forward and reverse message passing over this dataset graph for coreset selection. Results show that D2 Pruning improves coreset selection over previous state-of-the-art methods for up to 70% pruning rates.

We propose Online Coreset Selection (OCS), a simple yet effective method that selects the most representative and informative coreset at each iteration. Our proposed method maximizes the model's adaptation to a target dataset while selecting high-affinity samples to past tasks, which directly inhibits catastrophic forgetting.
