Self-Verified Distillation: Your Language Model Is Secretly Its Own Synthetic Data Pipeline 文章

arXiv:2605.26132v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Can post-trained large language models (LLMs) further improve themselves using only unlabeled prompts, without external teachers or feedback from tools? We study this setting starting only from unlabeled seed questions with no ground-truth solutions, across three reasoning domains: math, science, and coding. We propose Self-Verified Distillation, a simple post-training refinement algorithm in which the model generates candidate solutions to these seed questions, filters them using prompt-based self-verification, and trains on the resulting self-curated dataset. Inspired by the UQ benchmark's use of multiple validators to screen candidate answers to hard unsolved questions, we adapt this validation-based filtering idea to self-training: the model filters its own generated solutions through a three-stage cascade of cycle-consistency, factuality, and correctness checks, accepting a solution only if it passes all stages with unanimous judge…
