TL;DR

A comparative analysis of dataset distillation and sampling methods in the context of LtR indicates that, in contrast to previous studies in computer vision, the selected distillation methods do not outperform random sampling.

PSM: Dataset Distillation Based on Precise Statistical Matching by Difficulty

Dataset distillation (DD) condenses a large original dataset into a small distilled dataset with high training utility. Decoupled statistical matching methods substantially reduce distillation time and memory overhead while achieving strong performance. However, they typically supervise all distilled samples using runn...

Data Unlearning via Inverse Distillation

Multi-step matching models, including flow and diffusion models, produce high-quality outputs but incur substantial inference costs and may reproduce unwanted components of their training datasets. We introduce Inverse Distillation Unlearning (IDU), a unified framework that simultaneously distills a teacher multi-step...

Simpler Methods Work Better for L1 Penalized Logistic Models and Large Datasets

This work test several proposed ``state-of-the-art''solutions from the literature and find that older methods are currently far superior for general use, and finds that a new and simple baseline, using LBFGS on a sub-gradient, is highly effective with minor tweaks, despite being dismissed in the literature for theoreti...

Revisiting Thinning Methods for Kernel Learning Problems

Backward Kernel Herding is introduced, an algorithm that addresses the problem of iteratively removing points from the dataset by iteratively removing points from the dataset, achieving results comparable to current state-of-the-art approaches while accelerating the subsampling process in realistic scenarios where the...

DataFlex-RL: An Evaluation Platform for RLVR Data Policies

DataFlex-RL, an evaluation platform for comparing choices under a common GRPO recipe, is introduced, finding that changing the data policy measurably changes the training process but does not produce a reproducible improvement over uniform training.
