DAC-Loop: Distillation-Aware Compression for Remote Sensing CNN

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces DAC-Loop, a Distillation-Aware Compression Loop that combines knowledge distillation with structured channel pruning and unstructured sparsification to compress remote sensing CNNs. By iteratively applying pruning and distillation, the method achieves a better accuracy‑compression trade‑off than traditional one‑shot pruning or single‑stage knowledge distillation, maintaining strong performance even after reducing more than 90% of the model parameters on EuroSAT and NWPU‑RESISC45 datasets.
