Show, Attend and Distill: Knowledge Distillation via Attention-based Feature Matching

Official pytorch implementation of "Show, Attend and Distill: Knowledge Distillation via Attention-based Feature Matching" (AAAI-2021)

Requirements

• Python3
• PyTorch (> 1.2.0)
• torchvision
• numpy
• Pillow

Training

We include a trained WRN-40-2 parameters at /trained/wrn40x2/model.pth.
Run main.py with student network as WRN-16-2 and teacher as WRN-40-2 to reproduce experiment result on CIFAR100.

python main.py --data_dir PATH_TO_DATA --data CIFAR100 --trained_dir /trained/wrn40x2/model.pth\
 --model wrn16x2 --model_t wrn40x2 --beta 200
