Reliability Gated Multi-Teacher Distillation for Low Resource Abstractive Summarization
We study multiteacher knowledge distillation for low resource abstractive summarization from a reliability aware perspective. We introduce EWAD (Entropy Weighted Agreement Aware Distillation), a token level mechanism that routes supervision between teacher distillation and gold supervision based on inter teacher agreement, and CPDP (Capacity Proportional Divergence Preservation), a geometric constraint on the student position relative to heterogeneous teachers. Across two Bangla datasets, 13 BanglaT5 ablations, and eight Qwen2.5 experiments, we find that logit level KD provides the most reliable gains, while more complex distillation improves semantic similarity for short summaries but degrades longer outputs. Cross lingual pseudo label KD across ten languages retains 71-122 percent of teacher ROUGE L at 3.2x compression. A human validated multi judge LLM evaluation further reveals calibration bias in single judge pipelines. Overall, our results show that reliability aware distillation helps characterize when multi teacher supervision improves summarization and when data scaling outweighs loss engineering.

GateKD: Confidence-Gated Closed-Loop Distillation for Robust Reasoning
Distilling multi-step reasoning abilities from large language models (LLMs) into compact student models remains challenging due to noisy rationales, hallucinated supervision, and static teacher-student interactions. Exis…
Verify Before You Distill: Prompt-Level Teacher Gating for On-Policy Distillation
On-policy distillation (OPD) accelerates post-training by providing dense token-level supervision from a frozen teacher on the student's own rollouts. Vanilla OPD applies this supervision uniformly across prompts, withou…

On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student on its own trajectories with dense per-token supervision from a stronger teacher, and often outperforms off-policy distillation and standard reinforcement learning. However, …

We study on-policy distillation (OPD) for agentic tasks, where an LLM agent interacts with an environment over multiple turns and a student imitates a teacher over these multi-turn interaction histories. Fully online OPD…
