Constructing Low-latency Involutory MDS Matrices with Lightweight Circuits

2019 · Lirias

MDS matrices are important building blocks providing diffusion functionality for the design of many symmetric-key primitives. In recent years, continuous efforts are made on the construction of MDS matrices with small area footprints in the …

RLKD: Distilling LLMs' Reasoning via Reinforcement Learning

2025 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Distilling reasoning paths from teacher to student models via supervised fine-tuning (SFT) provides a shortcut for improving the reasoning ability of smaller Large Language Models (LLMs). However, the reasoning paths generated by teacher models often …
