About the Project

Entry to finals at BAH hackathon. Performs knowledge distillation from teacher model with LUPI (learning using privileged information); student trained on indigenous satellite data lacking an independent channel to replicate teacher results. MAE-based ViT pretrained backbone (on Indian data) for student model.
