Simple self-distillation improves code generation
Source: Hacker News
Summary
Self-distillation is a technique where a model trains itself by learning from its own (improved) outputs, leading to better code generation.
Key Insight
You can improve your existing code generation tools or models, even without external data, by iteratively refining their outputs and retraining on them.
Action to Take
Experiment with self-distillation on a small code generation task by having your existing model generate code, manually correct a subset of the generated code, and then retrain the model on the corrected dataset.
