Knowledge Distillation with the Reused Teacher Classifier (CVPR-2022) https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.14001
This repository aims to provide a compact and easy-to-use implementation of several representative knowledge distillation approaches on standard image classification tasks (e.g., CIFAR100, ImageNet).
-
Generally, these KD approaches include a classification loss, a logit-level distillation loss, and an additional feature distillation loss. For fair comparison and ease of tuning, we fix the hyper-parameters for the first two loss terms as one throughout all experiments. (
--cls 1 --div 1) -
The following approaches are currently supported by this toolbox, covering vanilla KD, feature-map distillation/feature-embedding distillation, instance-level distillation/pairwise-level distillation:
-
This toolbox is built on a open-source benchmark and our previous repository. The implementation of more KD approaches can be found there.
-
Computing Infrastructure:
- We use one NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080Ti GPU for CIFAR-100 experiments. The PyTorch version is 1.0. We use four NVIDIA A40 GPUs for ImageNet experiments. The PyTorch version is 1.10.
- As for ImageNet, we use DALI for data loading and pre-processing.
-
The current codes have been reorganized and we have not tested them thoroughly. If you have any questions, please contact us without hesitation.
-
Please put the CIFAR-100 and ImageNet dataset in the
../data/.
