Current Knowledge Distillation (KD) methods for semantic segmentation often guide the student to mimic teacher's structured information generated from individual data samples. However, they ignore global relations among pixels across various images that are valuable KD. This paper proposes a novel Cross-Image Relational KD (CIRKD), which focuses on transferring pixel-to-pixel and pixel-to-region whole images. The motivation is good teacher network could construct well-structured feature...

Pathogenic bioaerosols are critical for outbreaks of airborne disease; however, rapidly and accurately identifying pathogens directly from complex air environments remains highly challenging. We present an advanced method that combines open-set deep learning (OSDL) with single-cell Raman spectroscopy to identify in real-world containing diverse unknown indigenous bacteria cannot be fully included training sets. To test further enhance identification, we constructed the datasets aerosolized...

We present a collaborative learning method called Mutual Contrastive Learning (MCL) for general visual representation learning. The core idea of MCL is to perform mutual interaction and transfer contrastive distributions among cohort networks. A crucial component Interactive (ICL). Compared with vanilla learning, ICL can aggregate cross-network embedding information maximize the lower bound between two This enables each network learn extra knowledge from others, leading better feature...

The teacher-free online Knowledge Distillation (KD) aims to train an ensemble of multiple student models collaboratively and distill knowledge from each other. Although existing KD methods achieve desirable performance, they often focus on class probabilities as the core type, ignoring valuable feature representational information. We present a Mutual Contrastive Learning (MCL) framework for KD. idea MCL is perform mutual interaction transfer contrastive distributions among cohort networks...

Knowledge distillation often involves how to define and transfer knowledge from teacher student effectively. Although recent self-supervised contrastive achieves the best performance, forcing network learn such may damage representation learning of original class recognition task. We therefore adopt an alternative augmented task guide joint distribution auxiliary It is demonstrated as a richer improve power without losing normal classification capability. Moreover, it incomplete that...

Class incremental learning (CIL) aims to solve the notorious forgetting problem, which refers fact that once network is updated on a new task, its performance previously-learned tasks degenerates catastrophically. Most successful CIL methods store exemplars (samples of learned tasks) train feature extractor incrementally, or prototypes (features estimate distribution. However, stored would violate data privacy concerns, while fixed might not reasonably be consistent with distribution,...

We proposed a Prior Gradient Mask Guided Pruning-aware Fine-Tuning (PGMPF) framework to accelerate deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). In detail, the PGMPF selectively suppresses gradient of those ”unimportant” parameters via prior mask generated by pruning criterion during fine-tuning. has three charming characteristics over previous works: (1) network A typical pipeline consists training, and fine-tuning, which are relatively independent, while utilizes variant as guide without...

Due to long propagation delays, routing discovery is very expensive in underwater acoustic sensor networks. Therefore, depth-based (DBR) protocols are usually preferred whose cost almost zero. However, DBR working with broadcast medium access control (MAC) bring severe collisions especially the data collection network. Moreover, DBR, all packets forwarded from deep shallow nodes along direction toward sink node. The directional packet transmissions may lead load imbalance, where some...

Multi-teacher Knowledge Distillation (KD) transfers diverse knowledge from a teacher pool to student network. The core problem of multi-teacher KD is how balance distillation strengths among various teachers. Most existing methods often develop weighting strategies an individual perspective performance or teacher-student gaps, lacking comprehensive information for guidance. This paper proposes Multi-Teacher with Reinforcement Learning (MTKD-RL) optimize weights. In this framework, we...

In safety-critical domains such as medical diagnostics and autonomous driving, single-image evidence is sometimes insufficient to reflect the inherent ambiguity of vision problems. Therefore, multiple plausible assumptions that match image semantics may be needed actual distribution targets support downstream tasks. However, balancing improving diversity consistency segmentation predictions under high-dimensional output spaces potential multimodal distributions still challenging. This paper...

Diffusion models have received wide attention in generation tasks. However, the expensive computation cost prevents application of diffusion resource-constrained scenarios. Quantization emerges as a practical solution that significantly saves storage and by reducing bit-width parameters. existing quantization methods for still cause severe degradation performance, especially under extremely low bit-widths (2-4 bit). The primary decrease performance comes from significant discretization...
