Enhancing deep learning models for time series classification via knowledge distillation

Results consistently show that KD most effectively benefits student models of intermediate complexity across all three architectures, with the distilled FCN student reducing parameters by a factor of 38, the distilled Inception student achieving nearly the same performance as the teacher with 42% fewer parameters and the distilled ConvTran student with 2 attention heads showing the most significant improvement through distillation.
