However, they perform poorly when answers depend on large amounts of factual or domain knowledge, because their few parameters cannot store it all. Standard reasoning distillation trains a small model to reproduce rationales written… 2. **[Distilling LLM Agent into Small Models with Retrieval and Code Tools](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/kang-2025-distilling-llm-agent-small-models/)** *(2025 · 11 citations)* Small language models (sLMs) trained to imitate a large teacher's chain-of-thought (CoT) traces often fail on questions that need rare facts or exact arithmetic. ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Generating Diverse and Consistent QA pairs from Contexts with Information-Maximizing Hierarchical Conditional VAEs ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2020.acl-main.20/) Proceedings of the 58th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics · no summary yet**Dong Bok Lee et al.*2020 · 97 citations* 2. **[Knowledge-Augmented Reasoning Distillation for Small Language Models in Knowledge-Intensive Tasks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/kang-2023-knowledge-augmented-reasoning-distillation-small/) [Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/)**Minki Kang, Seanie Lee, Jinheon Baek, et al.*2023 · 71 citations* 3.
