SkillFactory: Self-Distillation For Learning Cognitive Behaviors

SkillFactory is a method for fine-tuning language models to acquire cognitive skills like verification and backtracking through supervised fine-tuning before reinforcement learning, using rearranged self-generated samples as training data. This approach enables models to develop more robust cognitive skills during subsequent RL phases, improving their generalization on harder tasks and resilience against out-of-domain task regression.
