In this work, we consider transferring the structure information from large networks to compact ones for dense prediction tasks in computer vision. Previous knowledge distillation strategies used for dense prediction tasks often directly borrow the distillation scheme for image classification and perform knowledge distillation for each pixel separately, leading to sub-optimal performance. Here we propose to distill structured knowledge from large networks to compact networks, taking into account the fact that dense prediction is a structured prediction problem. Specifically, we study two structured distillation schemes: i) pair-wise distillation that distills the pair-wise similarities by building a static graph; and ii) holistic distillation that uses adversarial training to distill holistic knowledge. The effectiveness of our knowledge distillation approaches is demonstrated by experiments on three dense prediction tasks: semantic segmentation, depth estimation and object detection.

Large convolutional neural network models have recently demonstrated impressive performance on video attention prediction. Conventionally, these models are with intensive computation and large memory. To address these issues, we design an extremely l
ight-weight network with ultrafast speed, named UVA-Net. The network is constructed based on depth-wise convolutions and takes low-resolution images as input. However, this straight-forward acceleration method will decrease performance dramatically. To this end, we propose a coupled knowledge distillation strategy to augment and train the network effectively. With this strategy, the model can further automatically discover and emphasize implicit useful cues contained in the data. Both spatial and temporal knowledge learned by the high-resolution complex teacher networks also can be distilled and transferred into the proposed low-resolution light-weight spatiotemporal network. Experimental results show that the performance of our model is comparable to 11 state-of-the-art models in video attention prediction, while it costs only 0.68 MB memory footprint, runs about 10,106 FPS on GPU and 404 FPS on CPU, which is 206 times faster than previous models.
Most teacher-student frameworks based on knowledge distillation (KD) depend on a strong congruent constraint on instance level. However, they usually ignore the correlation between multiple instances, which is also valuable for knowledge transfer. In
this work, we propose a new framework named correlation congruence for knowledge distillation (CCKD), which transfers not only the instance-level information, but also the correlation between instances. Furthermore, a generalized kernel method based on Taylor series expansion is proposed to better capture the correlation between instances. Empirical experiments and ablation studies on image classification tasks (including CIFAR-100, ImageNet-1K) and metric learning tasks (including ReID and Face Recognition) show that the proposed CCKD substantially outperforms the original KD and achieves state-of-the-art accuracy compared with other SOTA KD-based methods. The CCKD can be easily deployed in the majority of the teacher-student framework such as KD and hint-based learning methods.
Knowledge distillation is a popular paradigm for learning portable neural networks by transferring the knowledge from a large model into a smaller one. Most existing approaches enhance the student model by utilizing the similarity information between
the categories of instance level provided by the teacher model. However, these works ignore the similarity correlation between different instances that plays an important role in confidence prediction. To tackle this issue, we propose a novel method in this paper, called similarity transfer for knowledge distillation (STKD), which aims to fully utilize the similarities between categories of multiple samples. Furthermore, we propose to better capture the similarity correlation between different instances by the mixup technique, which creates virtual samples by a weighted linear interpolation. Note that, our distillation loss can fully utilize the incorrect classes similarities by the mixed labels. The proposed approach promotes the performance of student model as the virtual sample created by multiple images produces a similar probability distribution in the teacher and student networks. Experiments and ablation studies on several public classification datasets including CIFAR-10,CIFAR-100,CINIC-10 and Tiny-ImageNet verify that this light-weight method can effectively boost the performance of the compact student model. It shows that STKD substantially has outperformed the vanilla knowledge distillation and has achieved superior accuracy over the state-of-the-art knowledge distillation methods.
Knowledge distillation is a critical technique to transfer knowledge between models, typically from a large model (the teacher) to a more fine-grained one (the student). The objective function of knowledge distillation is typically the cross-entropy
between the teacher and the students output distributions. However, for structured prediction problems, the output space is exponential in size; therefore, the cross-entropy objective becomes intractable to compute and optimize directly. In this paper, we derive a factorized form of the knowledge distillation objective for structured prediction, which is tractable for many typical choices of the teacher and student models. In particular, we show the tractability and empirical effectiveness of structural knowledge distillation between sequence labeling and dependency parsing models under four different scenarios: 1) the teacher and student share the same factorization form of the output structure scoring function; 2) the student factorization produces more fine-grained substructures than the teacher factorization; 3) the teacher factorization produces more fine-grained substructures than the student factorization; 4) the factorization forms from the teacher and the student are incompatible.
Despite the recent works on knowledge distillation (KD) have achieved a further improvement through elaborately modeling the decision boundary as the posterior knowledge, their performance is still dependent on the hypothesis that the target network
has a powerful capacity (representation ability). In this paper, we propose a knowledge representing (KR) framework mainly focusing on modeling the parameters distribution as prior knowledge. Firstly, we suggest a knowledge aggregation scheme in order to answer how to represent the prior knowledge from teacher network. Through aggregating the parameters distribution from teacher network into more abstract level, the scheme is able to alleviate the phenomenon of residual accumulation in the deeper layers. Secondly, as the critical issue of what the most important prior knowledge is for better distilling, we design a sparse recoding penalty for constraining the student network to learn with the penalized gradients. With the proposed penalty, the student network can effectively avoid the over-regularization during knowledge distilling and converge faster. The quantitative experiments exhibit that the proposed framework achieves the state-ofthe-arts performance, even though the target network does not have the expected capacity. Moreover, the framework is flexible enough for combining with other KD methods based on the posterior knowledge.
