    Abstract: Methods and systems for compressing a neural network (NN) which performs an inference task and for performing computations of a Kronecker layer of a Kronecker NN are described. Data samples are obtained from a training dataset. The input data of the data samples are inputted into a trained NN to generate NN predictions for the input data. Further, the input data are inputted into a Kronecker NN to generate Kronecker NN predictions for the input data. Two losses are computed: a knowledge distillation loss, based on outputs generated by a layer of the NN and a corresponding Kronecker layer of the Kronecker NN and a loss for Kronecker layer, based on the Kronecker NN predictions and ground-truth labels of the data samples. The two losses are combined into a total loss, which is propagated through the Kronecker NN to adjust values of learnable parameters of the Kronecker NN.
