A Dual-Teacher Distilled MoE Agent for Complex Industrial Document Analysis
Enli Zhang, Qiang Kang, Ruilong Tang, Meixuan Ren, Fan Li, Junling FangConsistency verification of drilling reports is critical for engineering quality control because a single data item may be distributed across reports with different formats, units, and page structures. Existing retrieval-augmented generation methods remain sensitive to retrieval and parsing errors in such documents, whereas ultra-large models impose substantial local computing and memory costs. This study proposes a lightweight tool-augmented framework based on dual-teacher distillation and sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE) modeling. Qwen3-235B-A22B serves as the primary teacher and Qwen3-30B-A3B as the assistant teacher. Their tool-use and task-planning capabilities are transferred to a sparse MoE student upgraded from a Qwen3-1.7B dense backbone through trajectory pruning, sample decomposition, and token-level Kullback–Leibler (KL) distillation. The student adopts an eight-expert Top-2 routing architecture. Experiments on 1000 drilling reports containing 30,127 verification instances show an F1 score of 58.0 ± 0.5%, with file-level, location-level, and exact-match accuracies of 66.5%, 55.2%, and 45.0%, respectively. The model contains 9.1B total parameters and 2.8B activated parameters, and reaches a latency of 12.1 ms per forward pass and a memory footprint of 18.4 GB under bfloat16 (BF16) precision. The reported F1 score characterizes the end-to-end verification task rather than an autonomous safety decision capability. The framework is intended to support evidence localization, anomaly prioritization, and expert review in local deployment settings.
