R-SRD: Robust Skeleton Relation Distillation

Lead Researcher

Proposed a 3-phase ViT distillation pipeline mining a sparse cross-domain consensus skeleton of token-token attention edges using a bilinear router probe and MMD-weighted agreement scoring for DG on PACS. Diagnosed catastrophic Sketch failure (49.1%) as a coverage deficiency; increasing skeleton density κ=0.2→0.3 recovered +13.3% accuracy, achieving the highest multi-seed mean of 84.0%.
