Harnessing Negative Signals: Reinforcement Distillation from Teacher Data for LLM Reasoning

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Shuyao Xu, Cheng Peng, Jiangxuan Long, Weidi Xu, Wei Chu | Summary: Recent advances in model distillation demonstrate that data from advanced reasoning models (e.g., DeepSeek-R1, OpenAI’s o1) can effectively transfer complex reasoning abilities to smaller, efficient student models. However, standard practices employ rejection sampling, discarding incorrect […]

Wess-Zumino-Witten Interactions of Axions: Three-Flavor

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Yang Bai, Ting-Kuo Chen, Jia Liu, Xiaolin Ma, | Summary: We present a complete Lagrangian describing axion interactions with pseudoscalar and (axial-)vector mesons within the three light-flavor quark framework. This formulation incorporates both the standard chiral Lagrangian and the full Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) term. By including instanton effects […]

Decoding Knowledge Attribution in Mixture-of-Experts: A Framework of Basic-Refinement Collaboration and Efficiency Analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Junzhuo Li, Bo Wang, Xiuze Zhou, Peijie Jiang, Jia Liu | Summary: The interpretability of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models, especially those with heterogeneous designs, remains underexplored. Existing attribution methods for dense models fail to capture dynamic routing-expert interactions in sparse MoE architectures. To address this issue, we propose […]

$δn$ formalism: A new formulation for the probability density of the curvature perturbation

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Diego Cruces, Shi Pi, Misao Sasaki, , | Summary: $delta N$ formalism is a useful method to calculate the curvature perturbation. Contrary to what it is typically done in the literature, we re-formulate the $delta N$ formalism by using the $e$-folding number $n$ counted forward in time. […]

All-sky search for individual Primordial Black Hole bursts with LHAASO

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai, Y. W. Bao, D. Bastieri | Summary: Primordial Black Holes~(PBHs) are hypothetical black holes with a wide range of masses that formed in the early universe. As a result, they may play an important cosmological role and provide a […]
