| contents | Dataset distillation aims to compress training data while preserving training-aware knowledge, alleviating the reliance on large-scale datasets in modern model training. Dataset parameterization provides a more efficient storage structure for dataset distillation, reducing redundancy and accommodating richer information. However, existing methods either rely on complex auxiliary modules or fail to balance representational capacity and efficiency. In this paper, we propose GSDD, a simple, novel, and effective dataset parameterization technique for Dataset Distillation based on Gaussian Splatting. We adapt CUDA-based splatting operators for parallel training in batch, enabling high-quality rendering with minimal computational and memory overhead. Gaussian primitives can effectively capture meaningful training features, allowing a sparse yet expressive representation of individual images. Leveraging both high representational capacity and efficiency, GSDD substantially increases the diversity of distilled datasets under a given storage budget, thereby improving distillation performance. Beyond achieving competitive results on multiple standard benchmarks, GSDD also delivers significant performance gains on large-scale datasets such as ImageNet-1K and on video distillation tasks. In addition, we conduct comprehensive benchmarks to evaluate the computational efficiency, memory footprint, and cross-GPU architectural stability of GSDD.
