New Bilevel Framework Enhances Knowledge Distillation for Imbalanced Data

Researchers have developed BiKD, a novel bilevel optimization framework designed to improve knowledge distillation for imbalanced datasets. This method dynamically adjusts the weights of hard and soft losses on a per-sample basis, considering the student model's learning behavior. By using a weight generation network guided by a small validation set and a multi-step SGD strategy, BiKD aims to achieve more effective knowledge transfer than fixed-weight approaches, showing promising results on imbalanced datasets like CIFAR-10/100.

    Balancing Knowledge Distillation for Imbalance Learning with Bilevel Optimization

    arXiv:2605.17839v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Knowledge distillation transfers knowledge from a high capacity teacher to a compact student using a mixture of hard and soft losses. On imbalanced data, a fixed weighting between hard and soft losses becomes brittle the l…
