Toward Skill-Native LLMs: Skill Entropy for Benchmarking and Training Long-Horizon Reasoning

Yinghui He, Ling Yang, Jiarui Liu +6

Long-horizon reasoning in recent LLMs demands that the model switch between distinct skills inside a reasoning chain, such as first doing a math derivation, then using the result t…

MixSD: Mixed Contextual Self-Distillation for Knowledge Injection

Jiarui Liu, Lechen Zhang, Yongjin Yang +5

Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) is widely used to inject new knowledge into language models, but it often degrades pretrained capabilities such as reasoning and general-domain perform…

Self-Distillation Zero: Self-Revision Turns Binary Rewards into Dense Supervision

Yinghui He, Simran Kaur, Adithya Bhaskar +7

Current post-training methods in verifiable settings fall into two categories. Reinforcement learning (RLVR) relies on binary rewards, which are broadly applicable and powerful, bu…
