Rethinking Dataset Distillation: Hard Truths about Soft Labels
CVPR 2026
Despite the perceived success of large-scale dataset distillation (DD) methods, recent evidence [??] finds that simple random image baselines perform on-par with state-of-the-art DD methods like SRe2L [??] due to the use of soft labels during downstream model training. This is in contrast with the f
