There are many different forms of model training which exist. One popular form of training is knowledge distillation, where a student model learns the output distributions from a teacher model. This commit introduces support for knowledge distillation in the training library.
This commit also exposes the
weight_decay
hyperparameter which is often used to help deep learning models generalize.Lastly, this commit changes the useage from
torch.distributed
to justdist
, as it is a common module used throughout the codebase.Signed-off-by: Oleg S [email protected]
