Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Model Combination Pattern

A Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Model Combination Pattern is a model combination pattern that uses a teacher model from one task to provide auxiliary training signals for a student model on a related task.

• AKA: Cross-Task Distillation Pattern, Teacher-Student Transfer Pattern, Knowledge Transfer Pattern.
• Context:
  • It can typically transfer Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Soft Targets from cross-task knowledge distillation teacher models.
  • It can typically compress Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Complex Models into cross-task knowledge distillation efficient models.
  • It can often improve Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Student Performance through cross-task knowledge distillation auxiliary signals.
  • It can often enable Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Model Deployment on cross-task knowledge distillation resource-constrained devices.
  • It can range from being a Response-Based Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Pattern to being a Feature-Based Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Pattern, depending on its cross-task knowledge distillation knowledge type.
  • It can range from being a Online Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Pattern to being a Offline Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Pattern, depending on its cross-task knowledge distillation training mode.
  • It can range from being a Single-Teacher Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Pattern to being a Multi-Teacher Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Pattern, depending on its cross-task knowledge distillation teacher count.
  • It can range from being a Hard Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Pattern to being a Soft Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Pattern, depending on its cross-task knowledge distillation label type.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • NLP Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Patterns, such as:
    • BERT-to-Student Cross-Task Distillation Pattern for language model compression.
    • NLI-for-QA Cross-Task Distillation Pattern for reasoning transfer.
    • Translation-for-Summarization Cross-Task Pattern for cross-lingual knowledge.
  • Vision Cross-Task Knowledge Distillation Patterns, such as:
    • Object-Detection-for-Segmentation Pattern for visual understanding transfer.
    • ImageNet-Teacher Cross-Task Pattern for visual feature distillation.
    • Dense-to-Sparse Cross-Task Pattern for model pruning.
  • Cross-Modal Cross-Task Distillation Patterns, such as:
    • Vision-for-Language Cross-Task Pattern for multimodal learning.
    • Audio-for-Vision Cross-Task Pattern for sensory transfer.
  • Domain-Specific Cross-Task Patterns, such as:
    • Medical-Model Cross-Task Distillation for clinical deployment.
    • Legal-Model Cross-Task Distillation for legal text processing.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Self-Distillation Pattern, which uses the same task for teacher and student.
  • Direct Training Pattern, which trains without teacher guidance.
  • Ensemble Voting Pattern, which combines predictions rather than knowledge.
