Efficient Quantization-Aware Distillation with Cross-Modal Alignment for Edge Vision-Language Models
By jointly optimizing distillation and quantization within a unified teacher-anchored framework, this method ensures consistent training under quantization, suppressing hard negatives and enlarging decision margins, and designs a lightweight cross-attention adapter that enhances non-RGB representations through RGB-guid...
