CES-KD trains compact image classifiers by routing examples to teacher or assistant models according to difficulty. It ranks training images by a reference model’s loss, then assigns easier buckets to lower-capacity experts and harder buckets to larger ones; students also learn from labels. On one CINIC-10 setup, this assignment outscored reversed and random selection, without establishing broader superiority.
