• Abstract summary: Knowledge distillation aims to improve the performance of a student network by mimicing the knowledge from a powerful teacher network. Previous effective hard mining methods are not appropriate for distillation. Prime-Aware Adaptive Distillation (PAD) perceives the prime samples in distillation and then emphasizes their effect adaptively.

• Abstract: Knowledge distillation(KD) aims to improve the performance of a student network by mimicing the knowledge from a powerful teacher network. Existing methods focus on studying what knowledge should be transferred and treat all samples equally during training. This paper introduces the adaptive sample weighting to KD. We discover that previous effective hard mining methods are not appropriate for distillation. Furthermore, we propose Prime-Aware Adaptive Distillation (PAD) by the incorporation of uncertainty learning. PAD perceives the prime samples in distillation and then emphasizes their effect adaptively. PAD is fundamentally different from and would refine existing methods with the innovative view of unequal training. For this reason, PAD is versatile and has been applied in various tasks including classification, metric learning, and object detection. With ten teacher-student combinations on six datasets, PAD promotes the performance of existing distillation methods and outperforms recent state-of-the-art methods.

  We show that the performance of logit-based knowledge distillation can be improved by effectively delivering the probability distribution for the non-target classes from the teacher model. We propose a new loss that enables the student to learn explicit knowledge along with implicit knowledge in an adaptive manner. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method, called adaptive explicit knowledge transfer (AEKT) method, achieves improved performance compared to the state-of-the-art KD methods.

  Knowledge distillation (KD) has been applied in recommender systems (RS) to reduce inference latency. Traditional solutions first train a full teacher model from the training data, and then transfer its knowledge to supervise the learning of a compact student model. We find such a standard distillation paradigm would incur serious bias issue -- popular items are more heavily recommended after the distillation.

  Knowledge Distillation (KD) for object detection aims to train a compact detector by transferring knowledge from a teacher model. We propose inconsistent knowledge distillation (IKD) which aims to distill knowledge inherent in the teacher model's counter-intuitive perceptions. Our method outperforms state-of-the-art KD baselines on one-stage, two-stage and anchor-free object detectors.
