This research paper proposes a novel approach called Induced Model Matching (IMM) for transferring knowledge from a highly accurate predictive model using restricted features to a larger, full-featured model. The restricted model serves as “side-information” derived from an auxiliary dataset or the same dataset with restrictions. IMM aligns the context-restricted performance of the full model with that of the restricted model’s, leveraging its accuracy. The authors demonstrate IMM on language modeling tasks using LSTM and transformer models, exploiting N-grams as restricted models. They also apply IMM to reinforcement learning (RL) problems, showing how POMDP policies can improve MDP policies via knowledge transfer from restricted models.

Imagine you have a super accurate model that uses only part of the information available. This paper shows how to use this “side-information” to make an even better model that uses all the information. They call this technique Induced Model Matching (IMM). The authors test IMM on language models and show it works well, especially when using restricted models like N-grams. They also apply IMM to a game-playing problem, where they can use limited information to make better decisions.
