Study compares feature-based vs. logit-based knowledge distillation

A new study on arXiv investigates knowledge distillation techniques, specifically comparing feature-based methods against logit-based distillation across different student model architectures. Researchers found that while logit-based distillation consistently improved student models, feature-based methods like Attention Transfer showed varied effects depending on the student's design, sometimes even negatively impacting performance. The study also highlighted that a uniform auxiliary coefficient for feature-based methods does not guarantee consistent training conditions across diverse student models. AI

IMPACT This research provides insights into optimizing the training of smaller AI models by understanding the nuances of knowledge distillation across different architectures.
