DiReDi: Distillation and Reverse Distillation for AIoT Applications by Chen Sun, Qiang Tong, Wenshuang Yang, Wenqi Zhang

“…When the user needs to update the edge-AI model to better fit the actual scenario, two reverse distillation (RD) processes are employed to extract the knowledge – the difference between user preferences and the manufacturer's presumptions from the edge-AI model using the user's exclusive data. Only the extracted knowledge is reported back to the upper management cloud server to update the cloud AI model, thus protecting user privacy by not using any exclusive data. …”
