• Title: The Staged Knowledge Distillation in Video Classification: Harmonizing Student Progress by a Complementary Weakly Supervised Framework
• Authors: Chao Wang, Zheng Tang
• Abstract summary: We propose a new weakly supervised learning framework for knowledge distillation in video classification. Our approach leverages the concept of substage-based learning to distill knowledge based on the combination of student substages and the correlation of corresponding substages. Our proposed substage-based distillation approach has the potential to inform future research on label-efficient learning for video data.

• Abstract: In the context of label-efficient learning on video data, the distillation method and the structural design of the teacher-student architecture have a significant impact on knowledge distillation. However, the relationship between these factors has been overlooked in previous research. To address this gap, we propose a new weakly supervised learning framework for knowledge distillation in video classification that is designed to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the student model. Our approach leverages the concept of substage-based learning to distill knowledge based on the combination of student substages and the correlation of corresponding substages. We also employ the progressive cascade training method to address the accuracy loss caused by the large capacity gap between the teacher and the student. Additionally, we propose a pseudo-label optimization strategy to improve the initial data label. To optimize the loss functions of different distillation substages during the training process, we introduce a new loss method based on feature distribution. We conduct extensive experiments on both real and simulated data sets, demonstrating that our proposed approach outperforms existing distillation methods in terms of knowledge distillation for video classification tasks. Our proposed substage-based distillation approach has the potential to inform future research on label-efficient learning for video data.

  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 involves extracting "dark knowledge" from a teacher network to guide the learning of a student network. We show that the seemingly different self-supervision task can serve as a simple yet powerful solution. By exploiting the similarity between those self-supervision signals as an auxiliary task, one can effectively transfer the hidden information from the teacher to the student.
