arXiv:2603.25144v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Dataset distillation (DD) compresses a large training set into a small synthetic set, reducing storage and training cost, and has shown strong results on general benchmarks. Decoupled DD further improves efficiency by splitting the pipeline into pretraining, sample distillation, and soft-label generation. However, existing decoupled methods largely rely on coarse class-label supervision and optimize samples within each class in a nearly identical manner. On fine-grained datasets, this often yields distilled samples that (i) retain large
