• Now, I'm fixing all the issues and refining the codes. It will be easier to understand how each KD works than before.
• Algorithms are already implemented again, but they should be checked more with hyperparameter tuning.
• Note that some algorithms give an insufficient performance with my configuration. For example, for FitNet, multi-task learning is much better than the initialization. However, I have followed the author's way.
• This Repo. will be upgraded version of my previous benchmark Repo. (link)

Defined knowledge by the neural response of the hidden layer or the output layer of the network

• Soft-logit : The first knowledge distillation method for deep neural network. Knowledge is defined by softened logits. Because it is easy to handle it, many applied methods were proposed using it such as semi-supervised learning, defencing adversarial attack and so on.
