2025年1月28日 · To address these issues, we introduce $\textit{Temporally Adaptive Interpolated Distillation (TAID)}$, a novel knowledge distillation approach that dynamically interpolates student and teacher distributions through an adaptive intermediate distribution, gradually shifting from the student's initial distribution towards the teacher's distribution.

This is an official Pytorch implementation of "TAID: Temporally Adaptive Interpolated Distillation for Efficient Knowledge Transfer in Language Models".

2025年1月18日 · taid (plural taids) (North Wales) A grandfather. Synonym: tadcu (Southern) Coordinate term: nain

Taid is chiefly used as a form of address, or preceded by a possessive (as ‘my taid’); it is also used without possessive (e.g., in quot. 1887) in the manner of a proper name.

2025年2月25日 · TAID represents a new approach to knowledge distillation, a technique for transferring knowledge from LLMs to SLMs. Unlike existing distillation methods, TAID achieves more efficient and effective knowledge transfer by gradually transferring LLM knowledge based on the student model’s learning progress.

We demonstrate TAID’s practical impact by developing two state-of-the-art compact models (Section 7): TAID-LLM-1.5B achieves the best performance for language models under 2B parameters, while TAID-VLM-2B outperforms vision-language models up to 4B parameters, showcasing TAID’s effectiveness across different domains.

TAID uses a dynamic, time-dependent intermediate teacher to bridge the gap between student and teacher models (see Figure 1). This approach facilitates smoother knowledge transfer, addressing the capacity gap and balancing mode-averaging and mode-collapse issues. We show how TAID mitigates these issues in Sections 6.3.2 and 6.3.3, respectively.

Knowledge distillation (KD) offers a promising approach for model compression, yet existing methods struggle with mode averaging, mode collapse, and the substantial capacity gap between teacher and student models.To address these issues, we introduce $\textit{Temporally Adaptive Interpolated Distillation (TAID)}$, a novel KD approach that ...

2025年2月18日 · TAID enhances LLM distillation by dynamically interpolating student-teacher distributions, solving capacity gaps and mode collapse.
