Interesting article, this also seems like a form of knowledge distillation. There have been a lot of examples of people distilling an ensemble into a single model, maybe you could try that here directly by taking out the middle man (match their outputs directly instead of labeling data). Anyway, I’ve been trying to think of how this could be used for text data, specifically NER, which generally requires a lot more semantic understanding of the input. Sadly it seems like there might not be much room for the ‘micro’ part of the micro models.
