DESCRIPTION

Data plays a vital role in AI. One of the most impactful works, such as the GPT series, demonstrates the power of ultra-large-scale and high-quality data. However, training on such data is unaffordable for most researchers. Dataset Distillation (DD) aims to synthesize small but informative datasets that achieve comparable results as training on the original large datasets. Over the past few years, this field has attracted hundreds of papers across top-tier computer vision and machine learning conferences.
