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.

The paper critically evaluates common few‑shot learning protocols that rely on pre‑training a model on a large auxiliary set with classes disjoint from the target but drawn from the same visual domain. By comparing no pre‑training, class‑disjoint in‑domain pre‑training, supervised out‑of‑domain pre‑training, and label‑free out‑of‑domain pre‑training across eight datasets and three architectures, the authors find that in‑domain pre‑training yields a 33.41‑point average improvement, while out‑of‑domain pre‑training offers a 23.75‑point gain, revealing a 9.66‑point optimistic bias due to domain overlap. They also demonstrate that a label‑free augmentation strategy can match supervised out‑of‑domain performance and propose a descriptor‑based source‑selection method that closely approximates oracle selection, underscoring the need to move beyond in‑domain pre‑training as the default evaluation protocol.

The paper introduces CATTLE, a transfer learning framework for disjoint tabular datasets that eliminates the need for shared features by leveraging generalized context learned through transformer projection weights. By using key, value, and query weights from source and target domains, CATTLE performs cross‑domain attention transfer in a data‑agnostic manner. Experiments on ten source‑target pairs demonstrate that CATTLE outperforms nine state‑of‑the‑art baselines, achieving the best average rank (2.9) and a 3.7% AUROC improvement.
