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.
SGCD improves held-out scores on AppWorld and tau^3-airline by using LLM-summarized sibling contrasts to reshape GRPO advantages while keeping policy gradient in charge of the actor update.
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.
