A new research paper critically evaluates dataset distillation (DD) methods for classification tasks, finding that they often do not outperform simpler data pruning techniques like coresets. The study benchmarked seven state-of-the-art DD methods against three coreset strategies on large-scale datasets, revealing that DD methods can be computationally expensive and may not offer significant accuracy advantages. Coresets, in contrast, demonstrated competitive performance and better coverage of the original data distribution, suggesting they remain a more efficient alternative for data-centric machine learning.
