摘要
Knowledge distillation is crucial for compressing Large Language Models (LLMs), enabling smaller student models to learn from larger teacher models. However, existing LLM distillation methods overly rely on student-generated outputs, which may introduce generation errors and misguide the distillation process. Moreover, existing distillation loss functions struggle to align the most informative part due to the complex output distributions of LLMs. To address these problems, we propose a multi-granularity semantic revision method for LLM distillation. At the sequence level, we propose a sequence correction and re-generation (SCRG) strategy. SCRG identifies error tokens by calculating the semantic cognitive difference between teacher and student outputs, corrects them using teacher-generated tokens, and re-generates the sequence to minimize errors. At the token level, we design a distribution adaptive clipping Kullback-Leibler (DAC-KL) loss, which uses a learnable sub-network to focus on semantically dense areas of the teacher’s output, reducing the impact of redundant information. At the span level, we utilize span priors to compute probability correlations within sequences, ensuring consistency between teacher and student outputs to enhance semantic information transfer. Extensive experiments on models ranging from 0.1B to 13B parameters demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach compared to existing methods.
