Questions on masked area #7

Open jwfanDL opened 2 years ago

jwfanDL commented 2 years ago

Hi Zhendong, In ViTKD, we only distill the knowledge from unmasked area, while full area in MGD. My questions are: 1) Why ViTKD only distill the knowledge only from unmasked area 2) What is the difference and relationship between unmasked and masked area in distillation.
