Local Affine Approximators for Improving Knowledge Transfer

The Jacobian of a neural network, or the derivative of the output with respect to the input, is a versatile object with many applications. In this paper we discuss methods to use this object efficiently for knowledge transfer. We first show that matching Jacobians is a special form of distillation, where noise is added to the input. We then show experimentally that we can perform better distill...
