Tailoring the Curriculum: Student-Centered Reasoning Distillation via Dynamic Data-Model Compatibility

In three linesNew Data-Model Compatibility (DMC) metric to assess dataset suitability for reasoning distillation to smaller models. DMC jointly considers data quality, relative difficulty, and student model capability. Validation across multiple student models and tasks shows strong correlation with distillation performance and improvements via dynamic dataset selection during training.
