MIMOS Tech Cafe explores the power of Knowledge Distillation with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ng Yin How

The MIMOS Tech Cafe hosted an insightful session on 24 February 2025, delving into the cutting-edge field of Knowledge Distillation Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ng Yin How from Multimedia University. This event provided a unique opportunity to explore the practical applications of this transformative technology and engage with a leading expert in telecommunication engineering and machine learning.

During the session, Dr. Ng illuminated the concept of Knowledge Distillation, a technique that enables the transfer of knowledge from a complex, high-performing model (the “teacher”) to a smaller, more efficient model (the “student”). This process proved crucial for deploying sophisticated machine learning models in resource-constrained environments, making it highly relevant for various industries.

This MIMOS Tech Cafe session provided a valuable opportunity to expand knowledge and network with experts in the field. The event was a success, with attendees leaving with new insights into the transformative potential of Knowledge Distillation.
