New Method Mitigates Self-Distillation Spike Problem
bronzeagepapi · x · 2026-07-11
A new approach is proposed to mitigate the spike problem in on-policy self-distillation:
- Directly guiding the student distribution with privileged information during the rollout process.
- The goal is to stabilize training and reduce distribution spikes during rollouts.
This is a methodology-focused research update, with the core information centered on technical mechanisms.
