Scaling LLM Knowledge Boundaries via Distribution-Optimized Synthesis

Knowledge injection via synthetic data is crucial for enhancing Large Language Models (LLMs). However, current synthesis methods simply stop at preset token counts or fixed data ratios, lacking awareness of knowledge distribution. This results in some domains being sparse while others are redundant, limiting LLM knowledge boundaries. We revisit knowledge injection from a distribution perspective and hypothesize that an optimal knowledge distribution exists to maximize knowledge boundary expansion. We propose KDoS (Knowledge Distribution-optimized Synthesis), a framework that introduces knowledge density to drive synthesis through a three-stage feedback mechanism, shifting from blind generation to distribution-optimized synthesis. We construct Wikipedia-based synthetic data with varying knowledge distributions and conduct experiments on models from 0.6B to 16B (Qwen, Ling, LLaMA) and data scales from 1B to 5B tokens. Our key findings are: (1) an optimal knowledge distribution consistently maximizes boundary expansion; (2) this distribution is stable across backbones and scales; (3) KDoS outperforms baselines across six knowledge benchmarks. Our work offers a new perspective and practical framework for synthetic data-driven knowledge injection.

Evontree: Ontology Rule-Guided Self-Evolution of Large Language Models

Although Large Language Models (LLMs) perform exceptionally well in general domains, the problem of hallucinations poses significant risks in specialized fields such as healthcare and law, where high interpretability is essential. Existing fine-tuning methods depend heavily on large-scale professional datasets, which are often hard to obtain due to the privacy regulations. Moreover, existing self-evolution methods are primarily designed for general domains, which may struggle to adapt to knowledge-intensive domains due to the lack of knowledge constraints. In this paper, we propose an ontology rule guided method Evontree to enable self-evolution of LLMs in low-resource specialized domains. Specifically, Evontree first extracts domain ontology knowledge from raw models, then detects knowledge inconsistencies using two core ontology rules, and finally reinforces gap knowledge into model via self-distilled fine-tuning. Extensive evaluations on medical QA benchmarks using Llama3-8B-Instruct and Med42-V2 demonstrate the effectiveness of Evontree, which outperforms both the base models and strong baselines, achieving up to a 3.7\% improvement in accuracy. Detailed ablation studies further validate the robustness of our approach.
