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.

Ensemble Distillation for Robust Model Fusion in Federated Learning

TL;DR: This work proposes ensemble distillation for model fusion, i.e. training the central classifier through unlabeled data on the outputs of the models from the clients, which allows flexible aggregation over heterogeneous client models that can differ e.g. in size, numerical precision or structure.

Real-time Action Recognition with Enhanced Motion Vector CNNs

TL;DR: This paper accelerates the deep two-stream architecture by replacing optical flow with motion vector which can be obtained directly from compressed videos without extra calculation, and introduces three strategies for this, initialization transfer, supervision transfer and their combination.

Improving neural networks by preventing co-adaptation of feature detectors

TL;DR: The authors randomly omits half of the feature detectors on each training case to prevent complex co-adaptations in which a feature detector is only helpful in the context of several other specific feature detectors.
