• Abstract: Most dataset distillation methods struggle to accommodate large-scale datasets due to their substantial computational and memory requirements. In this paper, we present a curriculum-based dataset distillation framework designed to harmonize scalability with efficiency. This framework strategically distills synthetic images, adhering to a curriculum that transitions from simple to complex. By incorporating curriculum evaluation, we address the issue of previous methods generating images that tend to be homogeneous and simplistic, doing so at a manageable computational cost. Furthermore, we introduce adversarial optimization towards synthetic images to further improve their representativeness and safeguard against their overfitting to the neural network involved in distilling. This enhances the generalization capability of the distilled images across various neural network architectures and also increases their robustness to noise. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our framework sets new benchmarks in large-scale dataset distillation, achieving substantial improvements of 11.1\% on Tiny-ImageNet, 9.0\% on ImageNet-1K, and 7.3\% on ImageNet-21K. The source code will be released to the community.

  We show that pre-training is effective even with minimal synthetic images. We find that a substantial reduction of synthetic images from 1k to 1 can even lead to an increase in pre-training performance. We extend our method from synthetic images to real images to see if a single real image can show similar pre-training effect.

  Researchers have long tried to minimize training costs in deep learning by maintaining strong generalization across diverse datasets. Emerging research on dataset aims to reduce training costs by creating a small synthetic set that contains the information of a larger real dataset. However, the synthetic data generated by previous methods are not guaranteed to distribute and discriminate as well as the original training data.

  We propose to distill an entire dataset's knowledge into a few synthetic images. The idea is to synthesize a small number of synthetic data points that, when given to a learning algorithm as training data, result in a model approximating one trained on the original data. We present a new optimization algorithm that distills a large number of images into a few intermediate feature vectors in the generative model's latent space.
