Appendix A Further Empirical Studies

As reported in Table A3, PS-MT consistently shows lower distances than Dual Teacher shows. The STD is similarly between 2 and over 50 times smaller. PS-MT's teachers (albeit they may have distinct characteristics) potentially becomes similar distances to the student at each epoch. Comparative analysis of performance based on different CutMix variations. We further report additional quantitative results encompassing three different splits: original high-quality set, blended set, and blended high-quality set .
