In one paragraph

This paper applies the original backpropagation-through-time dataset distillation method to tabular data and finds that a model trained on the distilled samples can outperform one trained on the original dataset, but that the distilled data generalizes poorly to models with different hyperparameters than the one used during distillation. It shows that distilling with multiple architectures simultaneously mitigates this poor cross-hyperparameter generalization.

Abstract (verbatim from arXiv)

Data distillation is the problem of reducing the volume oftraining data while keeping only the necessary information. With thispaper, we deeper explore the new data distillation algorithm, previouslydesigned for image data. Our experiments with tabular data show thatthe model trained on distilled samples can outperform the model trainedon the original dataset. One of the problems of the considered algorithmis that produced data has poor generalization on models with differenthyperparameters. We show that using multiple architectures during distillation can help overcome this problem.
