► Knowledge Graph Extraction from Tables using LLMs for RAG
This post delves into using LLMs to extract knowledge graphs from structured data (tables) to improve Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). The core question is whether this 'LLM generating data for itself' approach is viable, or if it simply compounds uncertainties leading to recursion and potentially unreliable results. The discussion seeks insights into the practical feasibility and potential limitations of this approach.

► Knowledge Distillation with Pretrained Student Models
The discussion revolves around the efficiency of using a pretrained student model in knowledge distillation. Instead of training a student from scratch, the question explores whether starting with a student model pretrained on the same dataset as the teacher can lead to faster and more effective knowledge transfer, leveraging existing knowledge to refine performance.
