Efficient Knowledge Distillation for LLMs: Offline Top-K Logits and a Fused Chunked KL Loss

arXiv:2608. 03796v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Small language models are often the only option for deployment under tight latency, cost, and on-premises constraints, but they are rarely trained from scratch: a compressed model is usually recovered through knowledge distillation (KD).

Collaborative Knowledge Distillation via a Learning-by-Education Node Community

arXiv:2410. 00074v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A novel Learning-by-Education Node Community framework (LENC) for Collaborative Knowledge Distillation (CKD) is presented, which facilitates continual collective learning through effective knowledge exchanges among diverse deployed Deep Neural Network (DNN) peer nodes.
