Towards Undistillable Models by Minimizing Conditional Mutual Information

Linfeng Ye, Shayan Mohajer Hamidi, En-hui Yang

A deep neural network (DNN) is said to be undistillable if, when used as a black-box input-output teacher, it cannot be distilled through knowledge distillation (KD). In this case,…

How to Train the Teacher Model for Effective Knowledge Distillation

Shayan Mohajer Hamidi, Xizhen Deng, Renhao Tan +2

Recently, it was shown that the role of the teacher in knowledge distillation (KD) is to provide the student with an estimate of the true Bayes conditional probability density (BCP…

Adversarial Training via Adaptive Knowledge Amalgamation of an Ensemble of Teachers

Shayan Mohajer Hamidi, Linfeng Ye

Adversarial training (AT) is a popular method for training robust deep neural networks (DNNs) against adversarial attacks. Yet, AT suffers from two shortcomings: (i) the robustness…

Bayes Conditional Distribution Estimation for Knowledge Distillation Based on Conditional Mutual Information

Linfeng Ye, Shayan Mohajer Hamidi, Renhao Tan +1

It is believed that in knowledge distillation (KD), the role of the teacher is to provide an estimate for the unknown Bayes conditional probability distribution (BCPD) to be used i…
