We investigate coresets - succinct, small summaries of large data sets - so that solutions found on the summary are provably competitive with solution found on the full data set. We provide an overview over the state-of-the-art in coreset construction for machine learning. In Section 2, we present both the intuition behind and a theoretically sound framework to construct coresets for general problems and apply it to $k$-means clustering. In Section 3 we summarize existing coreset construction algorithms for a variety of machine learning problems such as maximum likelihood estimation of mixture models, Bayesian non-parametric models, principal component analysis, regression and general empirical risk minimization.

  1. Dataset Distillation

    cs.LG 2018-11 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    Dataset distillation creates a tiny synthetic training set that, when used with a fixed network initialization, produces models whose performance approximates that of models trained on the full original dataset.

  2. How Much Is a Dataset Worth? Scaling Laws, the Vendi Score, and Matrix Spectral Functions

    cs.LG 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Vendi Score and scaling-law objectives belong to the class of matrix spectral functions, which are submodular, enabling efficient greedy selection of training data that outperforms random subsets in predicting held-ou...

  3. Check, Please: Verifiably Fair Clustering

    cs.GT 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Proves coNP-completeness of verifying mPJR in metric clustering, defines mPJR+ with polynomial-time find-and-check algorithms, and introduces DC-mPJR+ with O(mn log n + mnk) verification that approximates mPJR+.

  4. Check, Please: Verifiably Fair Clustering

    cs.GT 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    DC-mPJR+ is a new proportionality concept for clustering that can be verified in O(mn log n + mnk) time and ensures that any clustering satisfying it also satisfies an approximate version of the stronger mPJR fairness...

  5. Stationary MMD Points

    stat.ML 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Stationary MMD points show super-convergence in integration error over MMD for RKHS integrands, and MMD gradient flows compute them with a new non-asymptotic finite-particle error bound.

  6. Data-efficient flood depth prediction through domain-aware coreset selection and tabular foundation models

    cs.LG 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Domain-aware coreset construction lets tabular foundation models predict flood depths with 0.7% of per-watershed data at R²=0.663 (98.5% of full supervised), with cross-watershed transfer.

  7. Efficient Test-Time Finetuning of LLMs via Convex Reconstruction and Gradient Caching

    cs.LG 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    HullFT performs test-time finetuning by sparse convex reconstruction of query embeddings followed by gradient caching on repeated examples, yielding better quality-efficiency tradeoffs than prior TTFT methods.
