TAM: Task-Aware Memory Distillation for Efficient Spatiotemporal Prediction

Knowledge distillation enables efficient spatiotemporal prediction by transferring knowledge from an accurate teacher to a compact student.

Key points

  • We propose TAM, a Task-Aware Memory Distillation framework that organizes a frozen teacher's knowledge into a bounded, retrievable history.
  • Memory entries encode latent features, forecast changes, or flow residuals, while task-specific selection rules identify relevant historical references.
  • We evaluate TAM on video prediction, weather forecasting, and traffic flow prediction across multiple teacher-student configurations.
  • These results demonstrate the utility of historical teacher supervision across distinct forecasting tasks without additional student inference cost.
