Original description
Large language model (LLM) distillation aims to transfer the capabilities of a powerful teacher to a smaller student. Direct imitation, however, can also transfer the teacher's systematic bias and errors. This challenge is particularly pronounced under covariate shift, when the teacher's reliability on target questions is uncertain and target-domain reward feedback is unavailable. We propose Coupled Calibration and Learning (CCL), an LLM distillation algorithm that couples teacher calibration with student updates through token-level branching, using reward feedback only on source questions. Ea...
