Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards yields no group-relative signal when rollout groups are uniformly correct or uniformly wrong, which account for 63. 0-68.
arXiv:2608. 01263v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) samples trajectories from the current student policy and minimizes token-level divergence between student and teacher next-token distributions at prefixes along those trajectories.

arXiv:2607. 04432v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A student model trained on pure uniform noise can still inherit its teacher's digit-classification ability, provided the two share initialization.

arXiv:2608. 15215v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Token-level knowledge distillation (KD) matches two conditional distributions per position, yet the standard objectives compare them pointwise: a Kullback-Leibler gradient is blind to which wrong token receives probability mass.

arXiv:2605. 31191v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We investigate how teacher-student capacity relationships modulate knowledge distillation (KD) effectiveness in ResNet-based image classification on CIFAR-10.
By Umut Onur Yasar
Knowledge distillation (KD) enables a compact student model to learn from a powerful teacher and has become an effective paradigm for model compression. The emergence of diverse model architectures has extended KD from homogeneous to heterogeneous settings.
arXiv:2606. 00928v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multiplexed fluorescence microscopy improves tissue segmentation by providing complementary channels including nuclear (DAPI) and membrane (E-cadherin), that together encode richer spatial context than single-channel imaging alone.

arXiv:2608. 14144v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual on-policy distillation relies heavily on an informative teacher-student asymmetry, through either a larger, stronger teacher or privileged supervision, such as reference answers or ground-truth regions of interest.

arXiv:2603. 07079v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: On-policy distillation is a promising approach for transferring knowledge between language models, where a student learns from dense token-level signals along its own trajectories.

arXiv:2601. 07155v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Knowledge distillation (KD) is a widely adopted technique for transferring knowledge from large language models to smaller student models; however, conventional supervised KD often suffers from a distribution mismatch between training and inference.
