Title: Consistently Informative Soft-Label Temperature for Knowledge Distillation
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.20357v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Knowledge distillation (KD) transfers knowledge from a high-capacity teacher to a compact student by matching their predictive distributions, with temperature scaling serving as a central mechanism for smoothing teacher predictions and exposing informative "dark knowledge" beyond the hard label. However, the standard fixed-temperature design is inherently sample-agnostic. Since samples differ in logit scale and learning difficulty, a single globa
