When Smaller Wins: Dual-Stage Distillation and Pareto-Guided Compression of Liquid Neural Networks for Edge Battery Prognostics
Researchers have developed DLNet, a framework for creating smaller, edge-deployable liquid neural networks for battery prognostics. The method uses dual-stage knowledge distillation and Pareto-guided selection to compress a larger model into a more efficient one. This compressed model achieves a lower error rate than the original teacher model while significantly reducing size and inference time, demonstrating its feasibility on embedded hardware like the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense.
