Technical principles of DistilQwen2
- Knowledge distillation: Transfers the knowledge of a large model to a smaller model through the training process, achieving similar performance with smaller computational resources.
- Task-aware curriculum planning: Analyzes the difficulty and characteristics of different tasks, optimizes instruction data, and improves the efficiency of distillation training.
- Instruction data optimization: The teacher model generates or expands instruction data, increasing data diversity, including task types, lengths, and languages.
- Model distillation training: Conducts distillation training based on two methods, supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and direct preference optimization (DPO), to improve the performance of the student model.
- Multi-turn dialogue data construction: Requires the teacher model to ask follow-up questions based on the answer information from the previous turn, improving the model's performance in multi-turn dialogues.
- Model self-distillation: The student model rewrites the teacher model's answers, reducing distribution differences between models and reducing the problem of catastrophic forgetting.
- Quality verification: Performs quality verification on the optimized instruction data to ensure the accuracy of the distillation data source.
