DAPD: Dual-Anchored Policy Distillation

51 upvotes · 3 AUG 2026 · Jianyu Wu, Yizhou Wang, Encheng Su et al.

This paper addresses a problem in self-distillation, where a student model learns to mimic the behavior of a privileged teacher, but performs poorly at inference due to a "privilege illusion". The authors propose a new method, Dual-Anchored Policy Distillation, to resolve this issue and improve performance.
