Recently, distillation approaches are suggested to extract general knowledge from a teacher network to guide a student network. Most of the existing methods transfer knowledge from the teacher network to the student via feeding the sequence of random mini-batches sampled uniformly from the data. Instead, we argue that the compact student network should be guided gradually using samples ordered in a meaningful sequence. Thus, it can bridge the gap of feature representation between the teacher and student network step by step. In this work, we provide a curriculum learning knowledge distillation framework via instance-level sequence learning. It employs the student network of the early epoch as a snapshot to create a curriculum for the student networks next training phase. We carry out extensive experiments on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, SVHN and CINIC-10 datasets. Compared with several state-of-the-art methods, our framework achieves the best performance with fewer iterations.

This paper addresses the problem of model compression via knowledge distillation. To this end, we propose a new knowledge distillation method based on transferring feature statistics, specifically the channel-wise mean and variance, from the teacher
to the student. Our method goes beyond the standard way of enforcing the mean and variance of the student to be similar to those of the teacher through an $L_2$ loss, which we found it to be of limited effectiveness. Specifically, we propose a new loss based on adaptive instance normalization to effectively transfer the feature statistics. The main idea is to transfer the learned statistics back to the teacher via adaptive instance normalization (conditioned on the student) and let the teacher network evaluate via a loss whether the statistics learned by the student are reliably transferred. We show that our distillation method outperforms other state-of-the-art distillation methods over a large set of experimental settings including different (a) network architectures, (b) teacher-student capacities, (c) datasets, and (d) domains.
Knowledge distillation~(KD) is an effective learning paradigm for improving the performance of lightweight student networks by utilizing additional supervision knowledge distilled from teacher networks. Most pioneering studies either learn from only
a single teacher in their distillation learning methods, neglecting the potential that a student can learn from multiple teachers simultaneously, or simply treat each teacher to be equally important, unable to reveal the different importance of teachers for specific examples. To bridge this gap, we propose a novel adaptive multi-teacher multi-level knowledge distillation learning framework~(AMTML-KD), which consists two novel insights: (i) associating each teacher with a latent representation to adaptively learn instance-level teacher importance weights which are leveraged for acquiring integrated soft-targets~(high-level knowledge) and (ii) enabling the intermediate-level hints~(intermediate-level knowledge) to be gathered from multiple teachers by the proposed multi-group hint strategy. As such, a student model can learn multi-level knowledge from multiple teachers through AMTML-KD. Extensive results on publicly available datasets demonstrate the proposed learning framework ensures student to achieve improved performance than strong competitors.
Multi-modal learning is typically performed with network architectures containing modality-specific layers and shared layers, utilizing co-registered images of different modalities. We propose a novel learning scheme for unpaired cross-modality image
segmentation, with a highly compact architecture achieving superior segmentation accuracy. In our method, we heavily reuse network parameters, by sharing all convolutional kernels across CT and MRI, and only employ modality-specific internal normalization layers which compute respective statistics. To effectively train such a highly compact model, we introduce a novel loss term inspired by knowledge distillation, by explicitly constraining the KL-divergence of our derived prediction distributions between modalities. We have extensively validated our approach on two multi-class segmentation problems: i) cardiac structure segmentation, and ii) abdominal organ segmentation. Different network settings, i.e., 2D dilated network and 3D U-net, are utilized to investigate our methods general efficacy. Experimental results on both tasks demonstrate that our novel multi-modal learning scheme consistently outperforms single-modal training and previous multi-modal approaches.
Despite exciting progress in pre-training for visual-linguistic (VL) representations, very few aspire to a small VL model. In this paper, we study knowledge distillation (KD) to effectively compress a transformer-based large VL model into a small VL
model. The major challenge arises from the inconsistent regional visual tokens extracted from different detectors of Teacher and Student, resulting in the misalignment of hidden representations and attention distributions. To address the problem, we retrain and adapt the Teacher by using the same region proposals from Students detector while the features are from Teachers own object detector. With aligned network inputs, the adapted Teacher is capable of transferring the knowledge through the intermediate representations. Specifically, we use the mean square error loss to mimic the attention distribution inside the transformer block and present a token-wise noise contrastive loss to align the hidden state by contrasting with negative representations stored in a sample queue. To this end, we show that our proposed distillation significantly improves the performance of small VL models on image captioning and visual question answering tasks. It reaches 120.8 in CIDEr score on COCO captioning, an improvement of 5.1 over its non-distilled counterpart; and an accuracy of 69.8 on VQA 2.0, a 0.8 gain from the baseline. Our extensive experiments and ablations confirm the effectiveness of VL distillation in both pre-training and fine-tuning stages.
In real applications, different computation-resource devices need different-depth networks (e.g., ResNet-18/34/50) with high-accuracy. Usually, existing methods either design multiple networks and train them independently, or construct depth-level/wi
dth-level dynamic neural networks which is hard to prove the accuracy of each sub-net. In this article, we propose an elegant Depth-Level Dynamic Neural Network (DDNN) integrated different-depth sub-nets of similar architectures. To improve the generalization of sub-nets, we design the Embedded-Knowledge-Distillation (EKD) training mechanism for the DDNN to implement knowledge transfer from the teacher (full-net) to multiple students (sub-nets). Specifically, the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence is introduced to constrain the posterior class probability consistency between full-net and sub-nets, and self-attention distillation on the same resolution feature of different depth is addressed to drive more abundant feature representations of sub-nets. Thus, we can obtain multiple high-accuracy sub-nets simultaneously in a DDNN via the online knowledge distillation in each training iteration without extra computation cost. Extensive experiments on CIFAR-10/100, and ImageNet datasets demonstrate that sub-nets in DDNN with EKD training achieve better performance than individually training networks while preserving the original performance of full-nets.
