• Abstract: In recent years, many explanation methods have been proposed to explain individual classifications of deep neural networks. However, how to leverage the created explanations to improve the learning process has been less explored. As the privileged information, the explanations of a model can be used to guide the learning process of the model itself. In the community, another intensively investigated privileged information used to guide the training of a model is the knowledge from a powerful teacher model. The goal of this work is to leverage the self-explanation to improve the learning process by borrowing ideas from knowledge distillation. We start by investigating the effective components of the knowledge transferred from the teacher network to the student network. Our investigation reveals that both the responses in non-ground-truth classes and class-similarity information in teacher's outputs contribute to the success of the knowledge distillation. Motivated by the conclusion, we propose an implementation of introspective learning by distilling knowledge from online self-explanations. The models trained with the introspective learning procedure outperform the ones trained with the standard learning procedure, as well as the ones trained with different regularization methods. When compared to the models learned from peer networks or teacher networks, our models also show competitive performance and requires neither peers nor teachers.

  We propose an integrated approach that combines knowledge distillation and semi-supervised learning methods.

  We propose a novel method, called Knowledge Augmented Data Teaching (KADT), to optimize a data teaching strategy for a student model. The KADT method incorporates a knowledge tracing model to dynamically capture the knowledge progress of a student model in terms of latent learning concepts. We have evaluated the performance of the KADT method on four different machine learning tasks including knowledge tracing, sentiment analysis, movie recommendation, and image classification.

  We propose an evolutionary knowledge distillation approach to improve the transfer effectiveness of teacher knowledge. Instead of a fixed pre-trained teacher, an evolutionary teacher is learned online and consistently transfers intermediate knowledge to supervise student network learning on-the-fly. In this way, the student can simultaneously obtain rich internal knowledge and capture its growth process, leading to effective student network learning.
