• Abstract summary: We argue that enhancing diversity can improve the parallelizable yet isolated approach to synthesizing datasets. We introduce a novel method that employs dynamic and directed weight adjustment techniques to modulate the synthesis process. Our method ensures that each batch of synthetic data mirrors the characteristics of a large, varying subset of the original dataset.

• Abstract: The sharp increase in data-related expenses has motivated research into condensing datasets while retaining the most informative features. Dataset distillation has thus recently come to the fore. This paradigm generates synthetic datasets that are representative enough to replace the original dataset in training a neural network. To avoid redundancy in these synthetic datasets, it is crucial that each element contains unique features and remains diverse from others during the synthesis stage. In this paper, we provide a thorough theoretical and empirical analysis of diversity within synthesized datasets. We argue that enhancing diversity can improve the parallelizable yet isolated synthesizing approach. Specifically, we introduce a novel method that employs dynamic and directed weight adjustment techniques to modulate the synthesis process, thereby maximizing the representativeness and diversity of each synthetic instance. Our method ensures that each batch of synthetic data mirrors the characteristics of a large, varying subset of the original dataset. Extensive experiments across multiple datasets, including CIFAR, Tiny-ImageNet, and ImageNet-1K, demonstrate the superior performance of our method, highlighting its effectiveness in producing diverse and representative synthetic datasets with minimal computational expense.

  Long-tailed distributions in image recognition pose a considerable challenge due to the severe imbalance between a few dominant classes. Recently, the use of large generative models to create synthetic data for image classification has been realized. We propose the use of synthetic data as a complement to long-tailed datasets to eliminate the impact of data imbalance.

  Imbalanced data and spurious correlations are common challenges in machine learning and data science. Oversampling, which artificially increases the number of instances in the underrepresented classes, has been widely adopted to tackle these challenges. We introduce OPAL, a systematic oversampling approach that leverages the capabilities of large language models to generate high-quality synthetic data for minority groups.

  *Data Synthesis* is a promising way to train a small model with very little labeled data. We propose *Synthesis Step by Step* (**S3**), a data synthesis framework that shrinks this distribution gap. Our approach improves the performance of a small model by reducing the gap between the synthetic dataset and the real data.

  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%.

In doing so, we successfully scale trajectory matching-based methods to larger synthetic datasets.

  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.
