Self-Distillation with Verbal Regularization
Jiazheng Li, Yawei Li, Junru Lu +7
On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) trains a large language model using supervision from a teacher instantiated from the same model as the student. The teacher is conditioned on pri…
Fix the Structural Bottleneck: Context Compression via Explicit Information Transmission
Jiangnan Ye, Hanqi Yan, Zhenyi Shen +3
Long-context LLM agents often struggle with growing token, memory, and latency costs, making efficient context compression essential for practical deployment. Existing LLM-as-a-com…
SSA: Sparse Sparse Attention by Aligning Full and Sparse Attention Outputs in Feature Space
Zhenyi Shen, Junru Lu, Lin Gui +4
Sparse attention reduces the quadratic complexity of full self-attention but faces two challenges: (1) an attention gap, where applying sparse attention to full-attention-trained m…
Beyond Prompting: An Efficient Embedding Framework for Open-Domain Question Answering
Zhanghao Hu, Hanqi Yan, Qinglin Zhu +3
Large language models have recently pushed open domain question answering (ODQA) to new frontiers. However, prevailing retriever-reader pipelines often depend on multiple rounds of…
CODI: Compressing Chain-of-Thought into Continuous Space via Self-Distillation
Zhenyi Shen, Hanqi Yan, Linhai Zhang +3
Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning enhances Large Language Models (LLMs) by encouraging step-by-step reasoning in natural language. However, leveraging a latent continuous space for…
