Dataset distillation compresses a large training set into a compact synthetic set while retaining its downstream utility. Most existing methods target randomly initialized networks, whereas modern vision systems often adapt frozen pretrained encoders with lightweight modules.

The Forward-Forward (FF) algorithm offers a computationally efficient and biologically plausible alternative to backpropagation (BP) by training neural networks through purely local, layer-wise optimization. However, FF is inherently designed for classification via contrastive positive-negative sample pairs, and extending it to regression poses fundamental challenges: continuous target space lack natural "opposites" for contrastive learning, and the standard goodness function carries no information about target magnitude or ordering.
