There is an increasing interest on accelerating neural networks for real-time applications. We study the student-teacher strategy, in which a small and fast student network is trained with the auxiliary information learned from a large and accurate teacher network. We propose to use conditional adversarial networks to learn the loss function to transfer knowledge from teacher to student. The proposed method is particularly effective for relatively small student networks. Moreover, experimental results show the effect of network size when the modern networks are used as student. We empirically study the trade-off between inference time and classification accuracy, and provide suggestions on choosing a proper student network.

  1. Scaling and Distilling Transformer Models for sEMG

    eess.AS 2025-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Vanilla transformers on the emg2qwerty dataset improve cross-user typing accuracy up to 109M parameters, and simple logit distillation recovers most of the gain in a 2.2M-parameter student.

  2. Bidirectional Knowledge Distillation for Enhancing Sequential Recommendation with Large Language Models

    cs.IR 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An alternating distillation loop between a conventional recommender and an LLM recommender improves top-K accuracy on four datasets without adding inference-time parameters.

  3. Latent-Space Mean-Field Theory for Deep BitNet-like Training: Constrained Gradient Flows with Smooth Quantization and STE Limits

    math.OC 2025-08 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper's main mean-field theorem for BitNet-like training is not proven: it assumes key regularity and uses an invalid distributional limit step.

  4. MASTER: Enhancing Large Language Model via Multi-Agent Simulated Teaching

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A multi-agent simulated teaching pipeline creates BOOST-QA, and fine-tuning on it lifts reported LLM benchmark scores by up to 31 points over the original data.
