Self-play’s natural question-construction paths supply free privileged information that turns sparse-reward self-play into dense self-distillation, yielding stronger data-free search agents.
HiPRAG adds hierarchical process rewards to RL training for agentic RAG, reducing over-search to 2.3% and achieving 65.4-67.2% accuracy on seven QA benchmarks across 3B and 7B models.
ThoughtFold applies introspective redundancy detection within correct CoT trajectories to create sub-trajectory spectra, then uses masked preference optimization to penalize redundant explorations, yielding 56% token reduction on DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B while preserving accuracy.
Survey mapping RL techniques onto LLM training and highlighting gaps in value-based, off-policy, and bootstrapping methods.
TrOPD stabilizes on-policy distillation for LLMs with trust-region learning, outlier estimation, and off-policy guidance, outperforming prior OPD methods on reasoning and code benchmarks.
