Abstract

Knowledge distillation is the process of transferring the knowledge from a large model to a small model. In this process, the small model learns the generalization ability of the large model and retains the performance close to that of the large model. Knowledge distillation provides a training means to migrate the knowledge of models, facilitating model deployment and speeding up inference. However, previous distillation methods require pre-trained teacher models, which still bring computational and storage overheads. In this paper, a novel general training framework called Self Distillation (SD) is proposed. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by enumerating its performance improvements in diverse tasks and benchmark datasets.

Comments

Withdraw this paper for internal review. Because we were not familiar with the use of arXiv, our initial manuscript was uploaded by mistake and we found many inappropriate and unmodified parts of it. I am sorry to say that this work still needs to be further completed and we do not intend to use it for publication
