D2 Pruning: Message Passing for Balancing Diversity and Difficulty in Data Pruning

Adyasha Maharana, Prateek Yadav, Mohit Bansal

Analytical theories suggest that higher-quality data can lead to lower test errors in models trained on a fixed data budget. Moreover, a model can be trained on a lower compute bud…
