• Abstract: Knowledge distillation (KD) is a new method for transferring knowledge of a structure under training to another one. The typical application of KD is in the form of learning a small model (named as a student) by soft labels produced by a complex model (named as a teacher). Due to the novel idea introduced in KD, recently, its notion is used in different methods such as compression and processes that are going to enhance the model accuracy. Although different techniques are proposed in the area of KD, there is a lack of a model to generalize KD techniques. In this paper, various studies in the scope of KD are investigated and analyzed to build a general model for KD. All the methods and techniques in KD can be summarized through the proposed model. By utilizing the proposed model, different methods in KD are better investigated and explored. The advantages and disadvantages of different approaches in KD can be better understood and develop a new strategy for KD can be possible. Using the proposed model, different KD methods are represented in an abstract view.

  We introduce Speculative Knowledge Distillation (SKD) to generate high-quality training data on-the-fly. In SKD, the student proposes tokens, and the teacher replaces poorly ranked ones based on its own distribution. We evaluate SKD on various text generation tasks, including translation, summarization, math, and instruction following.

• How and When Adversarial Robustness Transfers in Knowledge Distillation? [137.11016173468457]
  This paper studies how and when the adversarial robustness can be transferred from a teacher model to a student model in Knowledge distillation (KD) We show that standard KD training fails to preserve adversarial robustness, and we propose KD with input gradient alignment (KDIGA) for remedy. Under certain assumptions, we prove that the student model using our proposed KDIGA can achieve at least the same certified robustness as the teacher model.
