Position-Weighted On-Policy Self-Distillation for Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2026-teacher-tokens-reliable-position-weighted/)** *(2026 · 8 citations)* On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) trains a reasoning model on its own sampled solutions. The teacher is the same model, prompted with the reference answer. Standard OPSD gives every token identical forward-KL supervision. Earlier adaptive variants reweight tokens using teacher entropy or similar local signals. The… 2. **[Do Thoughts Depth Affect Multilingual Reasoning?](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yang-2026-do-thoughts-depth-affect-multilingual/)** *(2026)* Chain-of-Thought prompting is usually assumed to help LLM reasoning, and longer chains are often treated as better. ## Co-authors here 3 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Chaowei Xiao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chaowei-xiao/) - [Kunpeng Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kunpeng-liu/) - [Xiaogeng Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaogeng-liu/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Workshop on Multilinguality in the Era of Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/mellm/): [Workshop on Multilinguality in the Era of Large Language Models 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/mellm/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 8 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [1 citing paper with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xinyan-wang/cited-by/).
