通过融合多视角信息提升语言模型自蒸馏效果,让模型更准更稳定。
AVSD: Adaptive-View Self-Distillation by Balancing Consensus and Teacher-Specific Privileged Signals

- 用多视角特权信号分离出通用共识和特定残差,动态调整学习方向
- 在数学与代码任务上分别提升3.1%和2.4%,优于单视角与GRPO方法
- 适合需要高精度推理的复杂任务,如竞赛级数学与编程生成
自蒸馏使语言模型能基于自身轨迹进行在线学习,使用同一模型同时作为学生与教师,教师可依赖学生无法访问的特权信息(如解法、演示、反馈或最终答案)。这类信息提供密集的逐标记反馈,无需外部模型,但存在根本性不对称:教师可能依赖学生推理时不可见的视图特有信息。且最优特权信息类型常因任务而异,难以选择单一教师视图。本文提出AVSD(自适应视图自蒸馏),一种支持多特权信息视图的新型自蒸馏方法,通过分离跨视图共识信号与视图特有残差信号来重构逐标记监督。AVSD识别各视图共享的共识信号以提供可靠更新方向,并仅在视图特有残差与共识方向一致且比例适当时才加入,以调节更新幅度。在数学竞赛基准(AIME24、AIME25、HMMT25)上的实验表明,AVSD持续优于单视图自蒸馏基线和GRPO,在Qwen3-8B和Qwen3-4B上平均准确率@8分别提升3.1%和2.2%。在代码生成基准(Codeforces、LiveCodeBench v6)上,使用Qwen3-8B时,平均性能超越单视图基线2.4%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Self-distillation enables language models to learn on-policy from their own trajectories by using the same model as both student and teacher, with the teacher being conditioned on privileged information unavailable to the student. Such information can come in different types or views, such as solutions, demonstrations, feedback, or final answers. This setup provides dense token-level feedback without relying on a separate external model, but creates a fundamental asymmetry: the teacher may rely on view-specific information that the student cannot access at inference time. Moreover, the best type of privileged information is often task-dependent, making it difficult to choose a single teacher view. In this work, we address both these challenges jointly by introducing AVSD (Adaptive-View Self-Distillation), a novel method of self-distillation with multiple privileged-information views, which reconstructs token-level supervision by separating stable cross-view consensus from view-specific residual signals. AVSD identifies the consensus signal shared across views, which provides a reliable update direction, and then selectively adds the view-specific residual signal to adjust the update magnitude when it both aligns with the consensus direction and remains proportionate to the consensus signal. Experiments on math competition benchmarks (AIME24, AIME25, and HMMT25) show that AVSD consistently outperforms both single-view self-distillation baselines and GRPO, achieving average Avg@8 gains of 3.1% and 2.2% over the strongest baselines on Qwen3-8B and Qwen3-4B, respectively. Moreover, on code-generation benchmarks (Codeforces, LiveCodeBench v6) using Qwen3-8B, AVSD outperforms the single-view self-distillation baseline by 2.4% on average.
