Speculative Knowledge Distillation: Bridging the Teacher-Student Gap Through Interleaved Sampling

ICLR 2025poster

Recent advances in knowledge distillation (KD) have enabled smaller student models to approach the performance of larger teacher models. However, popular methods such as supervised KD and on-policy KD, are adversely impacted by the knowledge gaps between teacher-student in practical scenarios. Super…

A Study on the Calibration of In-context Learning

NAACL 2024long

Accurate uncertainty quantification is crucial for the safe deployment of machine learning models, and prior research has demonstrated improvements in the calibration of modern language models (LMs). We study in-context learning (ICL), a prevalent method for adapting static LMs through tailored prom…

A Few Expert Queries Suffices for Sample-Efficient RL with Resets and Linear Value Approximation

NeurIPS 2022accept

The current paper studies sample-efficient Reinforcement Learning (RL) in settings where only the optimal value function is assumed to be linearly-realizable. It has recently been understood that, even under this seemingly strong assumption and access to a generative model, worst-case sample complex…
