• Abstract: In this work, we explore data augmentations for knowledge distillation on semantic segmentation. To avoid over-fitting to the noise in the teacher network, a large number of training examples is essential for knowledge distillation. Imagelevel argumentation techniques like flipping, translation or rotation are widely used in previous knowledge distillation framework. Inspired by the recent progress on semantic directions on feature-space, we propose to include augmentations in feature space for efficient distillation. Specifically, given a semantic direction, an infinite number of augmentations can be obtained for the student in the feature space. Furthermore, the analysis shows that those augmentations can be optimized simultaneously by minimizing an upper bound for the losses defined by augmentations. Based on the observation, a new algorithm is developed for knowledge distillation in semantic segmentation. Extensive experiments on four semantic segmentation benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed method can boost the performance of current knowledge distillation methods without any significant overhead.

  The representation gap between teacher and student is an emerging topic in knowledge distillation (KD) We state that the essence of these methods is to discard the noisy information and distill the valuable information in the feature. We propose a novel KD method dubbed DiffKD, to explicitly denoise and match features using diffusion models.

  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.
