How to Choose Your Teacher for Fine Grained Image Recognition
Two new research papers explore optimizing fine-grained image recognition (FGIR) models for efficiency. The first paper investigates the trade-offs between accuracy and computational cost across various training and evaluation settings, proposing an augmentation method that reduces inference expenses. The second paper focuses on knowledge distillation, introducing a new metric to select optimal teacher models for transferring knowledge to smaller, more deployable student models, demonstrating significant accuracy gains.
