Overview
- Curriculum Coarse-to-Fine Selection (CCFS) tackles dataset distillation for high Images-Per-Class (IPC) settings
- Introduces a novel two-stage selection process that improves efficiency
- First stage uses coarse metrics to filter candidate synthetic images
- Second stage applies fine-grained metrics to select optimal samples
- Achieves state-of-the-art results with up to 50 IPC on CIFAR datasets
- More efficient than existing dataset distillation methods
- Combines advantages of curriculum learning with dataset distillation
Plain English Explanation
Dataset distillation is like creating a concentrated version of a large dataset. Imagine condensing a gallon of orange juice into a small shot that still contains all the essential nutrients and flavor. That's what dataset distillation aims to do with training data - create a t...
