Knowledge amalgamation (KA) … aiming to transfer knowledge from several well-trained teachers to a multi-talented and compact student.

… In this work, … explore a more effective KA scheme for transformer-based object detection models.

… propose to dissolve the KA into two aspects: sequence-level amalgamation (SA) and task-level amalgamation (TA).

… a hint is generated within the sequence-level amalgamation by concatenating teacher sequences instead of redundantly aggregating them to a fixed-size one as previous KA works.

… the student learns heterogeneous detection tasks through soft targets with efficiency in the task-level amalgamation.

… experiments on PASCAL VOC and COCO … the sequence-level amalgamation significantly boosts the performance of students …
