The technical principle of DistilQwen2
- Knowledge distillationThe knowledge from a large model is transferred to a smaller model based on the training process, achieving similar performance with less computational resources.
- Task-aware curriculum planningAnalyze the difficulty and characteristics of different tasks, optimize the instruction data, and improve the efficiency of distillation training.
- Instruction data optimizationTeacher models generate or expand instruction data, increasing data diversity, including task type, length, and language.
- Model distillation trainingDistillation training is performed using two methods: supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and direct preference optimization (DPO) to improve the performance of student models.
- Multi-turn dialogue data constructionThe teacher model is required to ask follow-up questions based on the previous round's answers to improve the model's performance in multi-round dialogues.
- Model self-distillationThe student model rewrites the teacher model's answers, reducing distributional differences between models and mitigating catastrophic forgetting problems.
- Quality verificationThe optimized instruction data is quality-verified to ensure the accuracy of the distillation data source.
