New ARKD technique enhances LLM distillation with adaptive KL divergence

Researchers have developed a new knowledge distillation technique called ARKD, which uses adaptive reinforcement learning to guide bidirectional KL divergence. This method aims to improve text generation quality and generalization by better balancing primary distribution fitting with long-tail probability modeling. ARKD dynamically assigns weights to forward and reverse KL divergence based on teacher-student distributional characteristics, leading to consistent improvements in metrics like Rouge-L and BertScore.

    ARKD: Adaptive Reinforcement Learning-Guided Bidirectional KL Divergence Distillation for Text Generation

    Knowledge distillation (KD) is a key technique for compressing Large Language Models (LLMs), yet methods relying on a single KL objective often fail to balance primary distribution fitting with long-tail probability modeling, limiting both generation quality and generalization. T…
