Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to token-selection methods for on-policy distillation by deriving token importance from the distillation objective itself.

Reality Card

Core Claim

The proposed Fisher Utility Weighting (FUW) method significantly improves performance in on-policy distillation across multiple benchmarks compared to matched uniform methods.

Method / Result

FUW improves over matched uniform OPD under reverse-KL by 1.35-4.0 macro points and forward-KL by 1.08-2.71 macro points.

Limitations

The paper does not provide extensive details on the implementation of the proposed method, which may hinder reproducibility.

Paper to code
