Imitation learning from large multi-task demonstration datasets has emerged as a promising path for building generally-capable robots. As a result, 1000s of hours have been spent on building such large-scale datasets around the globe.…

We study (constrained) least-squares regression as well as multiple response least-squares regression and ask the question of whether a subset of the data, a coreset, suffices to compute a good approximate solution to the regression. We…
