A Note on Knowledge Distillation Loss Function for Object Classification

Machine Learning 2024-08-28 v3 Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

This research note provides a quick introduction to the knowledge distillation loss function used in object classification. In particular, we discuss its connection to a previously proposed logits matching loss function. We further treat knowledge distillation as a specific form of output regularization and demonstrate its connection to label smoothing and entropy-based regularization.
