Knowledge Distillation: A Good Teacher is Patient and Consistent
The optimal training recipe for knowledge distillation is consistency and patience. Consistency refers to showing the teacher and the student the exact same view of an image and additionally improving the support of the distribution with the MixUp augmentation. Patience refers to enduring long training schedules. Exciting to see advances in model compression to make stronger models more widely used!
