https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.05507

The implementation of compared methods are based on the author-provided code and a open-source benchmark https://github.com/HobbitLong/RepDistiller.

conda install --yes --file requirements.txt

1. Fetch the pretrained teacher models by:

   sh scripts/fetch_pretrained_teachers.sh
   

   which will download and save the models to save/models

2. Run distillation by commands in scripts\run_cifar_distill.sh. An example of running HKD is given by:

   python train_student.py --path_t ./save/models/resnet32x4_vanilla/ckpt_epoch_240.pth --distill hkd --model_s resnet8x4 -a 1 -b 3 --mode hkd --trial 1
