让大模型自己生成并筛选答案,无需外部数据也能提升推理能力。
Self-Verified Distillation: Your Language Model Is Secretly Its Own Synthetic Data Pipeline

- 模型自动生成答案,通过三阶段验证筛选高质量数据
- 数学、科学、编程三领域性能显著提升,最高增益16.7分
- 无需额外推理计算,适合资源受限场景下的模型优化
能否仅用无标注提示,让后训练的大语言模型在无外部教师或工具反馈的情况下自我改进?我们在此设定下研究三个推理领域:数学、科学和编程。提出自验证蒸馏方法:模型生成候选答案,通过基于提示的自验证机制筛选,构建自校准数据集进行训练。受UQ基准中多验证器筛选难题启发,我们设计三阶段级联验证流程——循环一致性、事实性与正确性检查,仅当所有阶段均获一致通过时才接受答案。实验表明,增加生成样本数与验证预算可提升数据质量,进而改善模型性能。在Qwen3系列模型上应用该方法,在数学(AIME26、HMMT)、科学(GPQA Diamond、HLE)和编码(LCBv5、LCBv6)任务中分别实现+16.7、+11.1、+8.3的准确率提升,0.6B、4B、8B规模模型均有收益。相比仅测试时优化的基线(UQ-TTC),本方法在多数场景表现更优,且推理时只需一次调用。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Can post-trained large language models (LLMs) further improve themselves using only unlabeled prompts, without external teachers or feedback from tools? We study this setting starting only from unlabeled seed questions with no ground-truth solutions, across three reasoning domains: math, science, and coding. We propose Self-Verified Distillation, a simple post-training refinement algorithm in which the model generates candidate solutions to these seed questions, filters them using prompt-based self-verification, and trains on the resulting self-curated dataset. Inspired by the UQ benchmark's use of multiple validators to screen candidate answers to hard unsolved questions, we adapt this validation-based filtering idea to self-training: the model filters its own generated solutions through a three-stage cascade of cycle-consistency, factuality, and correctness checks, accepting a solution only if it passes all stages with unanimous judge votes. We find that sampling more candidate generations and using a larger verification budget during training data construction produces higher-quality self-curated data and, in turn, better reasoning models. We then train Qwen3 models at multiple scales with Self-Verified Distillation and obtain gains across all three domains. For Qwen3-4B, our method improves aggregate held-out pass@1 by +16.7 points in math (AIME26 and HMMT), +11.1 points in science (GPQA Diamond and HLE), and +8.3 points in coding (LCBv5 and LCBv6), with gains also extending to 0.6B and 8B models. Compared to our test-time-only baseline (UQ-TTC), which improves performance by spending extra compute at inference time, Self-Verified Distillation achieves better performance in most settings while requiring only a single inference call at test time.
