Cross-teacher feedback reduces gradient conflicts in multi-teacher on-policy distillation
Road MOPD improves multi-domain distillation by using auxiliary teachers to guide token-level credit assignment and prevent conflicting gradient updates, boosting performance by over 5 points in high-conflict domains and improving overall results in three-domain training.
