Abstract
A student model may be trained in two stages by using two teacher models, respectively. The first teacher model has been trained with a pretraining dataset. The second teacher model has been trained with a training dataset that is specific to a task to be performed by the student model. In the first stage, the student model may be generated based on a structure of the first teacher model. Internal parameters of the student model are adjusted through a pretraining process based on the first teacher model and the pretraining dataset. Weights of the student model may be pruned during the pretraining process. In the second stage, a sparsity mask is generated for the student model to lock the sparsity pattern generated from the first stage. Further, some of the internal parameters of the student model are modified based on the second teacher model and the training dataset.
