Synthetic Data Enables Any Differentiable Target

arXiv `2604.08423` presents a method to generate synthetic data that directly optimizes arbitrary differentiable target functions. The paper frames dataset synthesis as a differentiable objective, enabling creation of datasets tailored to any differentiable loss or performance metric and positioning synthetic-data generation as a general-purpose tool for aligning data with specific model objectives.
