Researchers have introduced VISTA, a novel self-distillation framework designed to address Trajectory Deviation in deep learning models. This phenomenon occurs when models abandon previously learned features for specific data subsets without triggering traditional overfitting signals. VISTA employs a validation-informed Marginal Coverage score to identify expert anchors, which are earlier model states with specialized data competence. By integrating a coverage-weighted ensemble of these anchors during training, VISTA regularizes the loss landscape and preserves knowledge, demonstrating improved robustness and generalization over existing methods while significantly reducing storage overhead.
