Researchers have introduced Autolearn, a novel framework designed to enable language models to learn from documents without external supervision. The system identifies passages that generate unusually high per-token loss, verifies them through self-generated question-and-answer chains, and then updates the model's parameters. A key metric, the perturbation gap, demonstrates that this Q&A format training significantly reduces memorization compared to standard fine-tuning, leading to a substantial increase in the acquisition of novel factual knowledge.
