arXiv:2607.02637v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent generative models can produce high-quality synthetic images, offering scalable training training data for data-hungry models. Existing approaches to exploiting this potential typically involve 1) training or fine-tuning generators, or 2) using lightweight post-hoc adaptation like prompt engineering or inference-time guidance, making them generator-specific and expertise-intensive. We study a complementary question: given a fixed pool of generated images, can downstream utility be improved purely by selecting an informative subset? The an
The proliferation of generative AI models necessitates efficient methods for leveraging synthetic data, and this research addresses a critical bottleneck in post-generation utility.
Improving the utility of synthetic images through selection rather than complex modifications can significantly boost training data scalability for AI models, impacting numerous data-hungry applications.
The focus shifts from solely optimizing generative models or prompt engineering to effectively curating existing pools of synthetic data, potentially democratizing access to high-quality training assets.

Downstream AI models will have access to more effective training data from existing generated pools, accelerating their development and performance.
This method could reduce the computational and expert-driven overhead associated with generating and preparing synthetic data for training.
Easier access to high-quality synthetic data might lead to new benchmarks for AI model performance and a diversification of AI applications.
