Researchers have developed a new method called SemiPrune for efficiently pruning large datasets used in deep learning. This technique addresses the limitation of existing methods that require fully labeled data, which is often costly to obtain. SemiPrune leverages a small set of labeled data combined with semi-supervised learning to generate pseudo-labels for unlabeled data, enabling the application of supervised pruning methods. The approach estimates example difficulty from the training dynamics derived from these pseudo-labels, leading to more accurate coreset selection and state-of-the-art performance on various specialized datasets.
