I am working on something I am calling "compact models" (as part of a PhD): techniques to pack more information into Machine Learning models when their size is constrained in some way. I have put up some of our work here [1] - it has been interesting so far, and the results are promising. I would like to release a Python library soon, well, ...in a few months - my PhD is part-time, I have a full time day job and time management is a pain.
