HölderPO unifies token-level aggregation in GRPO via the Hölder mean with a tunable p parameter and annealing schedule, delivering 54.9% average accuracy on math benchmarks and 93.8% success on ALFWorld.
OPEFO prevents entropy collapse in RLVR by rescaling token updates according to their entropy change contributions, yielding more stable optimization and better results on math benchmarks.
S-trace adds sparse eligibility traces to RLVR that mask low-entropy tokens, outperforming GRPO by 0.49-3.16% pass@16 on Qwen3 models while improving sample and token efficiency.
Kernel smoothing enables accurate low-variance value and gradient estimates for policy optimization in LLM reasoning under tight sampling constraints per prompt.
Survey mapping RL techniques onto LLM training and highlighting gaps in value-based, off-policy, and bootstrapping methods.
PIPO adds closed-loop policy-improvement feedback to RL post-training so updates that raise measured performance are reinforced and those that drop it are suppressed.
Derives a token-level entropy change approximation revealing four factors, identifies limitations in prior entropy interventions, and proposes STEER which adaptively reweights tokens to mitigate collapse and improve performance on math and coding benchmarks.
