Dataset distillation compresses large-scale datasets into compact synthetic sets while preserving their training utility, enabling efficient 3D point cloud training. Current point cloud dataset distillation methods only tackle geometric and representation challenges while ignoring the distributional imbalance prevalent in point cloud datasets where both training and test splits follow long-tailed class distributions.
