Knowledge Transfer with Jacobian Matching
Classical distillation methods transfer representations from a "teacher" neural network to a "student" network by matching their output activations. Recent methods also match the Jacobians, or the gradient of output activations with the input. However, this involves making some ad hoc decisions, in particular, the choice of the loss function. In this paper, we first establish an equivalence between Jacobian matching and distillation with input noise, from which we derive appropriate loss functions for Jacobian matching. We then rely on this analysis to apply Jacobian matching to transfer learning by establishing equivalence of a recent transfer learning procedure to distillation. We then show experimentally on standard image datasets that Jacobian-based penalties improve distillation, robustness to noisy inputs, and transfer learning.

Second-order consistency for learning chaotic dynamics via randomized Jacobian matching
Short-horizon accuracy does not ensure that a learned chaotic system has correct long-time dynamics. Trajectory (zeroth-order) matching constrains vector-field values, and Jacobian (first-order) matching constrains local…
Domain Transfer Becomes Identifiable via a Single Alignment
Domain transfer (DT) maps source to target distributions and supports tasks such as unsupervised image-to-image translation, single-cell analysis, and cross-platform medical imaging. However, DT is fundamentally ill-pose…
Unsupervised Image-To-Image TranslationCausality--Δ: Jacobian-Based Dependency Analysis in Flow Matching Models
Flow matching learns a velocity field that transports a base distribution to data. We study how small latent perturbations propagate through these flows and show that Jacobian-vector products (JVPs) provide a practical l…

Transferability of adversarial samples under different CNN models is not only one of the metrics indicators for evaluating the performance of adversarial examples, but also an important research direction in the defense …
