Model Overview
The quangdung/Qwen2.5-Math-Distill-1.5b-Sens is a 1.5 billion parameter causal language model designed for mathematical reasoning. It was created by merging two base models: Qwen2.5-Math-1.5B and DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B, using a novel Sens Merging technique.
Key Features and Merging Method
This model leverages Sens Merging, a layer-wise sensitivity-weighted task arithmetic approach. This method calculates parameter sensitivity for each base model on calibration examples and then combines their weights using a softmax function with specific temperature and scaling coefficients. The merge process aims to preserve the strengths of both the math-focused and distillation models.
Performance Highlights
Evaluations on the first 100 samples of various mathematical datasets (with temperature 0.0 and greedy decoding) show significant improvements:
- Achieved 81.4% on GSM8K and 81.0% on MATH, outperforming both the base
Qwen2.5-Math-1.5B(46.5% GSM8K, 70.0% MATH) andDeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B(76.0% GSM8K, 70.5% MATH). - Recorded an average accuracy of 56.5% across tested math benchmarks, surpassing other merging methods like task arithmetic (48.7%) and TIES (51.5%).
Use Cases
This model is particularly well-suited for:
- Mathematical problem-solving: Excelling in tasks requiring step-by-step mathematical reasoning.
- Research and experimentation: As a research checkpoint for exploring advanced model merging techniques and their impact on specialized tasks.
Limitations
It's important to note that this is a research checkpoint optimized for experimental benchmarks. Evaluation results are based on a limited subset (100 samples) of each dataset and may not fully represent performance on entire test sets. The model may still produce incorrect solutions or lengthy reasoning, requiring verification for real-world applications.
