Leveraging the capabilities of Knowledge Distillation (KD) strategies, we devise a strategy to fight the recent retraction of face recognition datasets. Given a pretrained Teacher model trained on a real dataset, we show that carefully…

Edge devices operate in constrained and varying resource settings, requiring dynamic architectures that can adapt to limitations of the available resources. To meet such demands, layer dropping ($\mathcal{LD}$) approach is typically used to…

Knowledge Distillation is a technique which aims to utilize dark knowledge to compress and transfer information from a vast, well-trained neural network (teacher model) to a smaller, less capable neural network (student model) with improved…

Self-supervised learning (SSL) has achieved remarkable success across various speech-processing tasks. To enhance its efficiency, previous works often leverage the use of compression techniques. A notable recent attempt is DPHuBERT, which…

Student-teacher learning or knowledge distillation (KD) has been previously used to address data scarcity issue for training of speech recognition (ASR) systems. However, a limitation of KD training is that the student model classes must be…

Knowledge Distillation (KD) has been used in image classification for model compression. However, rare studies apply this technology on single-stage object detectors. Focal loss shows that the accumulated errors of easily-classified samples…

The deep complex convolution recurrent network (DCCRN) achieves excellent speech enhancement performance by utilizing the audio spectrum's complex features. However, it has a large number of model parameters. We propose a smaller model,…

Current knowledge distillation (KD) methods primarily focus on transferring various structured knowledge and designing corresponding optimization goals to encourage the student network to imitate the output of the teacher network. However,…

Large-scale language models have recently demonstrated impressive empirical performance. Nevertheless, the improved results are attained at the price of bigger models, more power consumption, and slower inference, which hinder their…

Knowledge distillation has been widely used to compress existing deep learning models while preserving the performance on a wide range of applications. In the specific context of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), distillation from…

Federated Learning (FL) enables the training of Deep Learning models without centrally collecting possibly sensitive raw data. The most used algorithms for FL are parameter-averaging based schemes (e.g., Federated Averaging) that, however,…

Knowledge distillation (KD) is an essential technique to compress large language models (LLMs) into smaller ones. However, despite the distinct roles of the student model and the teacher model in KD, most existing frameworks still use a…

Data-Free Knowledge Distillation (KD) allows knowledge transfer from a trained neural network (teacher) to a more compact one (student) in the absence of original training data. Existing works use a validation set to monitor the accuracy of…

Knowledge distillation is normally used to compress a big network, or teacher, onto a smaller one, the student, by training it to match its outputs. Recently, some works have shown that robustness against adversarial attacks can also be…

Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training has recently driven major gains in long chain-of-thought reasoning large language models (LLMs), but the high inference cost of such models motivates distillation into smaller students. Most…

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) become popular due to excellent energy efficiency, yet facing challenges for effective model training. Recent works improve this by introducing knowledge distillation (KD) techniques, with the pre-trained…

Sequential recommender systems (SRS) have become a research hotspot due to its power in modeling user dynamic interests and sequential behavioral patterns. To maximize model expressive ability, a default choice is to apply a larger and…

Knowledge distillation (KD) has been a popular and effective method for model compression. One important assumption of KD is that the original training dataset is always available. However, this is not always the case due to privacy…

Learning style refers to a type of training mechanism adopted by an individual to gain new knowledge. As suggested by the VARK model, humans have different learning preferences, like Visual (V), Auditory (A), Read/Write (R), and Kinesthetic…
