Dataset Distillation via Drifting: 10 images per class from ImageNet, new SOTA and ECCV award

giannis_daras · x · 2026-11-14

The NeurIPS 2026 paper "Dataset Distillation via Drifting" distills ImageNet's 1,300 images per class down to just 10 optimized from noise. A follow-up winning ECCV 2026 Art Gallery award asks whether a small set of images can optimally cover a dataset in a pre-trained feature space, co-opting Drifting Generative Models (Minyang et al.) for dataset distillation—achieving visually stunning results and a new SOTA with unprecedented classification accuracy.
