RISE method enhances language models via self-extrapolation and policy distillation

Researchers have introduced RISE, a novel method for improving language models through self-extrapolation and policy distillation. Unlike previous approaches that relied on external teachers or limited in-context learning, RISE constructs a synthetic teacher from the model's own training trajectory. This synthetic teacher provides dense, token-level supervision by extrapolating the model's progress. Experiments show RISE outperforms standard reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) and on-policy self-distillation across various tasks, including mathematical reasoning, STEM, and code generation. AI

IMPACT This new self-extrapolation technique could lead to more efficient and effective language model training, potentially improving performance on complex reasoning and generation tasks.

    RISE: Recursive Improvement via Self-Extrapolating Policy Distillation

    arXiv:2609.05295v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) provides dense, per-token supervision for language model post-training, but its effectiveness is bottlenecked by teacher quality: external teachers suffer from distribution mismatch, while self-distillat…

    RISE: Recursive Improvement via Self-Extrapolating Policy Distillation

    RISE improves language model post-training by recursively generating dense token-level supervision from the model's own reinforcement learning trajectory via self-extrapolation, avoiding external teachers.
