arXiv:2606. 12171v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Knowledge Distillation (KD) and mixup have proven effective at inducing smoothness in class boundaries; KD captures inherent class relationships in probability distributions, and mixup enforces them through convex combinations of inputs.

arXiv:2606. 00798v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameter compression of class-conditional diffusion models reveals an underexplored limitation in output-level distillation: the unconditional score branch remains unsupervised, leaving the classifier-free guidance gap underdetermined in the student.

arXiv:2608. 00129v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge distillation (KD) is a widely utilized technique for transferring knowledge from a large model (the teacher) to a smaller model (the student).

arXiv:2606. 03052v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge Distillation (KD) is a powerful tool for model compression, yet the precise mechanisms by which student models acquire feature representations remain underexplored.

arXiv:2608. 06023v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To address the limitations of video-based emotion recognition under ambiguous or socially masked behavioral cues, as well as the poor deployability of physiological signals, this paper proposes a reliability-aware physiology-to-video knowledge distillation framework, termed BioKD.
