• Abstract: Knowledge distillation has become a cornerstone technique in deep learning, facilitating the transfer of knowledge from complex models to lightweight counterparts. Traditional distillation approaches focus on transferring knowledge at the instance level, but fail to capture nuanced semantic relationships within the data. In response, this paper introduces a novel methodology, Semantics-based Relation Knowledge Distillation (SeRKD), which reimagines knowledge distillation through a semantics-relation lens among each sample. By leveraging semantic components, \ie, superpixels, SeRKD enables a more comprehensive and context-aware transfer of knowledge, which skillfully integrates superpixel-based semantic extraction with relation-based knowledge distillation for a sophisticated model compression and distillation. Particularly, the proposed method is naturally relevant in the domain of Vision Transformers (ViTs), where visual tokens serve as fundamental units of representation. Experimental evaluations on benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of SeRKD over existing methods, underscoring its efficacy in enhancing model performance and generalization capabilities.

  Knowledge distillation (KD) is a substantial strategy for transferring learned knowledge from one neural network model to another. This work provides a new perspective to motivate a set of knowledge distillation strategies by approximating the classical KL-divergence criteria with different knowledge sources. Our analysis indicates that logits are generally a more efficient knowledge source and suggests that having sufficient feature dimensions is crucial for the model design.

  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.
