知识蒸馏对于在计算资源受限的边缘设备上优化人脸识别模型至关重要。传统蒸馏方法如原始L2特征蒸馏或特征一致性损失,难以同时捕捉细粒度实例级细节与复杂的样本间关系结构,导致性能不佳。本文提出一种统一框架,集成两项新损失函数:实例级嵌入蒸馏与基于关系的成对相似性蒸馏。实例级嵌入蒸馏通过动态硬样本挖掘策略对齐个体特征嵌入,增强对困难样本的学习;关系型成对相似性蒸馏则通过记忆库机制与样本挖掘策略捕捉成对相似性关系,保留样本间的几何结构。该框架实现了有效的实例对齐与关系结构保持,促进更全面的知识迁移。大量实验表明,该框架在多个主流人脸识别数据集上优于当前最优蒸馏方法。有趣的是,在使用强教师网络时,学生模型甚至可超越教师性能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Knowledge Distillation is crucial for optimizing face recognition models for deployment in computationally limited settings, such as edge devices. Traditional KD methods, such as Raw L2 Feature Distillation or Feature Consistency loss, often fail to capture both fine-grained instance-level details and complex relational structures, leading to suboptimal performance. We propose a unified approach that integrates two novel loss functions, Instance-Level Embedding Distillation and Relation-Based Pairwise Similarity Distillation. Instance-Level Embedding Distillation focuses on aligning individual feature embeddings by leveraging a dynamic hard mining strategy, thereby enhancing learning from challenging examples. Relation-Based Pairwise Similarity Distillation captures relational information through pairwise similarity relationships, employing a memory bank mechanism and a sample mining strategy. This unified framework ensures both effective instance-level alignment and preservation of geometric relationships between samples, leading to a more comprehensive distillation process. Our unified framework outperforms state-of-the-art distillation methods across multiple benchmark face recognition datasets, as demonstrated by extensive experimental evaluations. Interestingly, when using strong teacher networks compared to the student, our unified KD enables the student to even surpass the teacher's accuracy.
