We study two problems: Local Leakage Resilience (LLR) for Shamir secret sharing, and worst-case Optimal Polynomial Intersection (OPI). Both problems concern polynomials $Q(X)$ of degree less than $k$, over a prime-order finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$. In LLR for Shamir secret sharing, one asks how much one can learn about …
Multi-teacher on-policy distillation (MOPD) aims to combine the strengths of RL-trained teachers in a single student, but how teacher signals affect parameter changes remains underexplored. We study Qwen3-1.7B with four domain teachers trained with RL from the same initialization as the student, comparing gradients, op …
We present OLIVE (OnLine InterVEntion). At each iteration, the evolving student policy generates a new prefix, the teacher continues it autoregressively, and the student is updated using cross-entropy computed on the teacher-generated tokens. Each design choice targets a corresponding limitation of existing distillatio …
