- Abstract: Dataset distillation has emerged as a strategy to overcome the hurdles associated with large datasets by learning a compact set of synthetic data that retains essential information from the original dataset. While distilled data can be used to train high performing models, little is understood about how the information is stored. In this study, we posit and answer three questions about the behavior, representativeness, and point-wise information content of distilled data. We reveal distilled data cannot serve as a substitute for real data during training outside the standard evaluation setting for dataset distillation. Additionally, the distillation process retains high task performance by compressing information related to the early training dynamics of real models. Finally, we provide an framework for interpreting distilled data and reveal that individual distilled data points contain meaningful semantic information. This investigation sheds light on the intricate nature of distilled data, providing a better understanding on how they can be effectively utilized.

We formalize behaviour distillation, a setting that aims to discover and condense information required for training an expert policy into a synthetic dataset.
We then introduce Hallucinating datasets with Evolution Strategies (HaDES), a method for behaviour distillation that can discover datasets of just four state-action pairs.
We show that these datasets generalize out of distribution to training policies with a wide range of architectures.
We also demonstrate application to a downstream task, namely training multi-task agents in a zero-shot fashion.
