Mixed Sample Regularization (MSR), such as MixUp or CutMix, is a powerful data augmentation strategy to generalize convolutional neural networks. Previous empirical analysis has illustrated an orthogonal performance gain between MSR and conventional offline Knowledge Distillation (KD). To be more sp…
Personalized image aesthetics assessment (PIAA) is challenging due to its highly subjective nature. People's aesthetic tastes depend on diversified factors, including image characteristics and subject characters. The existing PIAA databases are limited in terms of annotation diversity, especially th…
Knowledge distillation (KD) shows a bright promise as a powerful regularization strategy to boost generalization ability by leveraging learned sample-level soft targets. Yet, employing a complex pre-trained teacher network or an ensemble of peer students in existing KD is both time-consuming and com…
