Lightweight Large Language Models with Teacher-Student Knowledge Distillation
Current project

The goal of this research is to distill the rich representations and language understanding capabilities of the teacher model into the student model using knowledge distillation and RLHF. It enables student model to achieve comparable performance with reduced computational resources.
