Learn how to apply rubric-based on-policy distillation for model alignment using teacher-generated responses, enabling scalable and flexible OPD without relying on teacher logits
Action Steps
- Define a set of prompt-specific rubrics using structured semantic information
- Collect teacher-generated responses for each prompt
- Train a student model using the rubric-based on-policy distillation framework
- Evaluate the student model's performance using the induced rubrics
- Refine the rubrics and repeat the training process for improved results

Title: Rubric-based On-policy Distillation
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.07396v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) is a powerful paradigm for model alignment, yet its reliance on teacher logits restricts its application to white-box scenarios. We contend that structured semantic rubrics can serve as a scalable alternative to teacher logits, enabling OPD using only teacher-generated responses. To prove it, we introduce ROPD, a simple yet foundational framework for rubric-based OPD. Specifically, ROPD induces prompt-specific rubrics
