Overview

  • HiSD: A new model training approach that improves early layer embeddings
  • Uses self-distillation hierarchically across multiple points in a model
  • Achieves strong performance with 92% improvement on NuScenes dataset
  • Produces better representations with less compute and fewer parameters
  • Enables creation of multiple "checkpoint models" from a single training run

Plain English Explanation

Neural networks are like layered systems where each layer learns different aspects of the data. In traditional models, only the final layer's output matters, while earlier layers are just stepping stones. This new method called Hierarchical Self-Distillation (HiSD) changes that...
