The Gradient That Top-k Distillation Never Computes
Many deployed distillation pipelines show the student a truncated view of the teacher: keep the top-k probabilities, renormalize, and minimize a divergence on what remains. Renormalization is assumed to account for the missing mass. We prove that it removes the visibility of tail mass, not the freed
