Introduction

The deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) proposed by Krizhevsky et al. became popular for image classification and object recognition after winning the ILSVRC 2012 with a higher score than conventional methods. Deeper models with more parameters are believed to perform better than shallow models.

The calculation cost becomes enormous as the size of the models becomes larger.

Knowledge distillation (KD) is one of the methods to compress the size of the models.

Research Question

The objective function of the optimization for training the parameters of the networks is defined by using these extracted feature vectors. We investigate the effectiveness of the combination of different loss functions here.

Here we investigate the effectiveness of the combination of different loss functions.

Methodology

Knowledge distillation can also be considered as a method for increasing the similarity between the outputs of the teacher model and the student model. Experimental results show that our method dramatically improves the performance of the student model.

Study Design

We have performed experiments to compare the proposed method with state-of-the-art knowledge distillation methods.

The results show that the student model obtained by the proposed method gives higher performance than the conventional knowledge distillation methods.

Figures Explained

Fig. 1. The structure of Siamese Network. The distance metric is learned depending on the label l ij given to each sample pair x i and x j .
Fig.2. The structure of Triplet Network. The distance metric is learned by using three networks with the shared weights from triplet xa, xp and xn which are called "anchor", "positine", and "negative". Learning progresses as closer "anchor-positive", and keep away "anchor-negative".
Fig. 3. The structure of conventional knowledge distillation. The student model tries to mimic the teacher model.
Fig. 4. The summary of knowledge distillation methods in terms of the loss function.
Fig. 5. The structure of our method. The student model is optimized so that its own output for sample xa and the output of the teacher model for sample xa are closer. At the same time, the student model is optimized so that its own output for sample xn which is the different classes in the soft target and the output of the teacher model for sample xa are keeping away.
