Distilling the Knowledge in a Neural Network

TLDR
This work shows that it can significantly improve the acoustic model of a heavily used commercial system by distilling the knowledge in an ensemble of models into a single model and introduces a new type of ensemble composed of one or more full models and many specialist models which learn to distinguish fine-grained classes that the full models confuse.
Abstract
A very simple way to improve the performance of almost any machine learning algorithm is to train many different models on the same data and then to average their predictions. Unfortunately, making predictions using a whole ensemble of models is cumbersome and may be too computationally expensive to allow deployment to a large number of users, especially if the individual models are large neural nets. Caruana and his collaborators have shown that it is possible to compress the knowledge in an ensemble into a single model which is much easier to deploy and we develop this approach further using a different compression technique. We achieve some surprising results on MNIST and we show that we can significantly improve the acoustic model of a heavily used commercial system by distilling the knowledge in an ensemble of models into a single model. We also introduce a new type of ensemble composed of one or more full models and many specialist models which learn to distinguish fine-grained classes that the full models confuse. Unlike a mixture of experts, these specialist models can be trained rapidly and in parallel.

Mean teachers are better role models: Weight-averaged consistency targets improve semi-supervised deep learning results

TL;DR: The recently proposed Temporal Ensembling has achieved state-of-the-art results in several semi-supervised learning benchmarks, but it becomes unwieldy when learning large datasets, so Mean Teacher, a method that averages model weights instead of label predictions, is proposed.

Practical Black-Box Attacks against Machine Learning

TL;DR: This work introduces the first practical demonstration of an attacker controlling a remotely hosted DNN with no such knowledge, and finds that this black-box attack strategy is capable of evading defense strategies previously found to make adversarial example crafting harder.
