Projected Distillation: On Learning to Solve Hard Problems from Close, Correct Targets

Shripad V. Deshmukh, Christian Bock, Kangrui Ruan +4

On-policy learning is central to post-training: training on a model's own generations limits distribution shift and helps preserve existing capabilities. On hard problems, however,…

Path Imputation Strategies for Signature Models of Irregular Time Series

Michael Moor, Max Horn, Christian Bock +2

The signature transform is a 'universal nonlinearity' on the space of continuous vector-valued paths, and has received attention for use in machine learning on time series. However…
