CAPS is a four-stage inference-only cascade that adapts how much of each solution the verifier sees and how comparisons are distributed, halving per-candidate verifier tokens while outperforming uniform pairwise verification on most benchmarks.
Sequential Monte Carlo sampling from a reward-augmented sequence distribution improves LLM performance on HumanEval by up to 54.9% and MATH500 by up to 8.8%, outperforming standard sampling and GRPO.
FADE is a self-adapting advantage for policy-gradient RL that reads training dynamics to balance positive/negative gradient mass and difficulty focus, yielding faster peak performance and better accuracy-diversity trade-offs than static baselines on LLM reasoning benchmarks.
REVES augments LLM post-training by decoupling revision and verification signals from successful multi-step trajectories, reporting +6.5 point gains on LiveCodeBench over RL baselines.
Tail-extrapolated estimators approximate best-of-N policy gradients from limited training rollouts by leveraging upper-tail reward statistics under structural assumptions.
Conditional optimal transport is used to turn raw PRM outputs into monotonic quantile functions that improve calibration and downstream Best-of-N performance on MATH-500 and AIME.
FASTER models multi-candidate denoising as an MDP and trains a value function to filter actions early, delivering the performance of full sampling at lower cost in diffusion RL policies.
ETS performs training-free RL alignment for language models by energy-guided test-time scaling with Monte Carlo energy estimation and importance sampling acceleration.
RewardBench 2 is a new benchmark that supplies challenging fresh human prompts for reward model evaluation, yielding lower average scores but higher correlation with downstream best-of-N sampling and RLHF training performance.
Expecting over scoring-token logits yields continuous, scalable verification that improves agent trajectory selection and dense RL rewards across coding, robotics, and medical benchmarks.
A survey of test-time scaling for multimodal foundation models that introduces a three-way taxonomy of sampling, feedback, and search approaches along with applications and benchmarks.
Introduces polychromic objectives adapted into PPO via vine sampling and modified advantages, showing higher success rates and better coverage under perturbations on BabyAI, Minigrid, and algorithmic tasks.
