Pre-training has become a fundamental paradigm in modern machine learning, with one of its key empirical benefits being reduced downstream sample complexity as the scale of pre-training data increases. However, existing theoretical frameworks for pre-training do not fully explain this phenomenon.
arXiv:2607. 02850v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Meta-learning without labeled data is crucial for real-world applications, where obtaining labeled datasets can be expensive or restricted due to privacy concerns.

arXiv:2607. 20465v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The quality of training data fundamentally determines the capabilities of large language models (LLMs), yet no unified benchmark exists to measure how well LLMs, agents, and data-centric workflows actually prepare training data end to end.

arXiv:2606. 18209v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dataset distillation (DD) has emerged as a prominent approach in data centric machine learning, aiming to synthesize compact training sets for efficient training by compressing the information in large datasets into a small number of synthetic samples.
