Researchers have introduced a new framework called "The Distillation Game" to study the trade-off between model utility and imitation. This game models a scenario where a teacher model, constrained by utility, interacts with an adaptive student model aiming to imitate it. The framework proposes an adaptive evaluation rule and a defense template for teachers, with a practical defense called Product-of-Experts (PoE) derived from this. AI
