A teacher-assisted Wasserstein distillation pipeline for compressing multimodal recommenders into efficient ID-based student models.
TARec introduces an intermediate teacher assistant to reduce the architectural and modality gap between a complex multimodal teacher and a lightweight ID-based student.
The repository contains the official PyTorch implementation, model definitions, and scripts for running the two-stage Wasserstein knowledge-distillation experiments from WWW 2025.
