Distilling the Knowledge in a Neural Network“A very simple way to improve the performance of almost any machine learning algorithm is to train many different models on the same data and then to average their predictions. Unfortunately, making predictions using a whole ensemble of models is cumbersome and may be too computationally expensive. We show that it is possible to compress the knowledge in an ensemble into a single model which is much easier to deploy.”
