abstract

Knowledge distillation aims at transferring knowledge acquired in one model (a teacher) to another model (a student) that is typically smaller. Previous approaches can be expressed as a form of training the student to mimic output activations of individual data examples represented by the teacher. We introduce a novel approach, dubbed relational knowledge distillation (RKD), that transfers mutual relations of data examples instead. For concrete realizations of RKD, we propose distance-wise and angle-wise distillation losses that penalize structural differences in relations. Experiments conducted on different tasks show that the proposed method improves educated student models with a significant margin. In particular for metric learning, it allows students to outperform their teachers' performance, achieving the state of the arts on standard benchmark datasets.

jina-embeddings-v5-text: Task-Targeted Embedding Distillation

cs.CL · 2026-02-17 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A distillation-plus-task-contrastive training regimen yields compact embedding models that match or exceed state-of-the-art performance for their size while supporting 32k-token contexts and quantization.
