Teach Small Models to Reason by Curriculum Distillation (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) show strong System-2-style reasoning, but at the cost of significant computational overhead. |
| Approach: | They propose a two-stage curriculum distillation framework which builds a robust internal problem-solving student model and then teaches the student model to externalize this knowledge as explicit reasoning. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms single-stage baselines on mathematical benchmarks and significantly outperformed LRMs on complex tasks. |

| Challenge: | Existing datasets exhibit data scarcity and limited coverage of general-domain events. |
| Approach: | They present a MAssive eVENt detection dataset which contains 4,480 Wikipedia documents and 168 event types. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset shows that existing methods cannot achieve promising results on the small datasets. |
Improved Sparse Upcycling for Instruction Tuning (2025.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for sparse upcycling lead to performance degradation in instruction tuning scenarios. |
| Approach: | They propose a representation-based approach to convert dense language models into sparsely activated ones by initializing router weights from language models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed architecture improves model capabilities and routing consistency across multiple benchmarks. |
