Abstract
Efficient data selection is crucial for enhancing the training efficiency of deep neural networks and minimizing annotation requirements. Traditional methods often face high computational costs, limiting their scalability and practical use. We introduce PruneFuse, a novel strategy that leverages pruned networks for data selection and later fuses them with the original network to optimize training. PruneFuse operates in two stages: First, it applies structured pruning to create a smaller pruned network that, due to its structural coherence with the original network, is well-suited for the data selection task. This small network is then trained and selects the most informative samples from the dataset. Second, the trained pruned network is seamlessly fused with the original network. This integration leverages the insights gained during the training of the pruned network to facilitate the learning process of the fused network while leaving room for the network to discover more robust solutions. Extensive experimentation on various datasets demonstrates that PruneFuse significantly reduces computational costs for data selection, achieves better performance than baselines, and accelerates the overall training process.

WHY NOW
LLM Training moved forward this cycle; last verified April 2026. Public score 4.0/10. Production flags indicate code availability.
We introduce PruneFuse, a novel strategy that leverages pruned networks for data selection and later fuses them with the original network to optimize training.
This is a core statement of the proposed method, directly from the abstract.

Extensive experimentation on various datasets demonstrates that PruneFuse significantly reduces computational costs for data selection, achieves better performance than baselines, and accelerates the overall training process.
The abstract states this, and the table comparing SVP and PruneFuse shows a significant reduction in model size (M) and FLOPs (implied by cost).
partial
Extensive experimentation on various datasets demonstrates that PruneFuse significantly reduces computational costs for data selection, achieves better performance than baselines, and accelerates the overall training process.
The abstract explicitly states this, and the provided tables show higher accuracy for PruneFuse across different settings.

Extensive experimentation on various datasets demonstrates that PruneFuse significantly reduces computational costs for data selection, achieves better performance than baselines, and accelerates the overall training process.
Stated in the abstract. Figure 4 shows accuracy over epochs, and while not explicitly labeled as 'accelerated', the curves suggest faster convergence or higher accuracy at earlier epochs for fusion variants.
partial
These results show that PruneFuse achieves a superior accuracy–cost trade-off compared to a typical AL pipeline.
This is a direct comparison stated in the text, supported by the numerical results showing higher accuracy with significantly less computation.
partial
We further investigated how the synchronization intervalTsync shapes the accuracy–cost trade-off.
The text explicitly states this investigation and refers to Figure 3 which plots accuracy versus FLOPs for different Tsync values.
partial
Figure 4:Impact of Model Fusion on PruneFuse performance:This figure compares the accuracy over epochs for different training variants within the PruneFuse framework on CIFAR-10 with ResNet-56.
Figure 4 directly compares different training variants, including 'fusion only' and 'fusion with KD', showing their impact on accuracy over epochs.
