• Abstract: Knowledge distillation is a method of transferring the knowledge from a complex deep neural network (DNN) to a smaller and faster DNN, while preserving its accuracy. Recent variants of knowledge distillation include teaching assistant distillation, curriculum distillation, mask distillation, and decoupling distillation, which aim to improve the performance of knowledge distillation by introducing additional components or by changing the learning process. Teaching assistant distillation involves an intermediate model called the teaching assistant, while curriculum distillation follows a curriculum similar to human education. Mask distillation focuses on transferring the attention mechanism learned by the teacher, and decoupling distillation decouples the distillation loss from the task loss. Overall, these variants of knowledge distillation have shown promising results in improving the performance of knowledge distillation.

  Trojan attacks have contemporaneously gained significant prominence, revealing fundamental vulnerabilities in deep learning models. We seek to exploit the unlabelled data knowledge distillation process to embed Trojans in a student model without introducing conspicuous behavior in the teacher. We devise a Trojan attack that effectively reduces student accuracy, does not alter teacher performance, and is efficiently constructible in practice.
