Researchers have developed OrthKD, a novel knowledge distillation framework designed to extract generalized clinical knowledge from heterogeneous AI models for lightweight deployment in diabetic retinopathy screening. This method selectively distills information from strong and weak teacher models, enforcing orthogonality between student projections to encourage complementary learning. The resulting lightweight MobileNetV3 student model demonstrates improved accuracy and robustness on large datasets, outperforming previous methods and enabling practical DR screening on resource-constrained devices.
