Selective Weak Labels Can Hurt Weak-to-Strong Generalization on BoolQ
Weak-to-strong generalization asks whether a capable student can recover performance from labels supplied by a weaker supervisor. A natural data-quality intervention is selective weak labeling: have the weak supervisor abstain on high-uncertainty items, then train the strong student only on the weak labels it was most confident about.

Training-Run Variance Swamps the Soft-versus-Hard Label Effect in Weak-to-Strong Supervision: A Cautionary Null
Weak-to-strong generalization (W2SG) asks whether a strong model fine-tuned on a weaker supervisor's labels can recover its own latent capability (Burns et al., 2023).
