Learn to distill reasoning from large language models into smaller ones using Distillation through Reasoning Path Compression (D-RPC), improving consistency and reducing noisy supervision

advanced Published 11 May 2026
Action Steps
  1. Implement D-RPC to constrain teacher models to follow a compact reasoning path
  2. Use dynamically maintained reasoning space compression to reduce variability in teacher rationales
  3. Apply D-RPC to distill reasoning from large language models into smaller ones
  4. Evaluate the performance of student models trained with D-RPC
  5. Compare the results with traditional distillation methods to assess the effectiveness of D-RPC

Title: Structural Rationale Distillation via Reasoning Space Compression

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.07139v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When distilling reasoning from large language models (LLMs) into smaller ones, teacher rationales for similar problems often vary wildly in structure and strategy. Like a chef who makes the same dish differently each time, this inconsistency burdens the student with noisy supervision that is hard to internalize. We propose Distillation through Reasoning Path Compression (D-RPC), which constrains the teacher to follow a compact, dynamically mainta
