Proposes MaxPO using a Leave-Two-Out baseline for centered unbiased advantages in max@K policy gradients, with a unified derivation of finite-batch estimators.
UG-TTT adds epistemic uncertainty measured by adapter disagreement as an exploration bonus in RL for LLMs, raising maximum reward and diversity on scientific discovery benchmarks.
MemSearch-o1 mitigates memory dilution in agentic LLM search through reasoning-aligned token-level memory growth, retracing with a contribution function, and path reorganization, improving reasoning activation on benchmarks.
Survey mapping RL techniques onto LLM training and highlighting gaps in value-based, off-policy, and bootstrapping methods.
IMAX trains soft prefixes with an InfoMax reward to drive diverse exploration in RLVR, yielding up to 11.60% gains in Pass@4 over standard RLVR across model scales.
Skill1 trains a single RL policy to co-evolve skill selection, utilization, and distillation in language model agents from one task-outcome reward, using low-frequency trends to credit selection and high-frequency variation to credit distillation, outperforming baselines on ALFWorld and WebShop.
Tandem lets a large model supply compact strategic guidance to a small model for reasoning tasks, achieving similar or better performance at about 40 percent lower cost through adaptive early stopping.
