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).

Target-Aware Early Stage Ranking

arXiv:2511. 21095v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Early Stage Ranking (ESR) in large-scale recommendation systems is dominated by ''user--item decoupling'' Two Tower architectures, which scale efficiently but cannot capture fine-grained, target-aware user--item interactions directly.
