This survey introduces the Generate-Filter-Control-Replay (GFCR) taxonomy to structure rollout pipelines for RL-based post-training of reasoning LLMs.
RTT bridges response-level rubrics to token-level rewards via a relevance discriminator and intra-sample group normalization, yielding higher instruction and rubric accuracy than baselines.
PULSE exploits BF16-invisible sparsity in weight updates to enable over 100x lower communication in distributed RL post-training via compute-visible sparsification.
TGR performs manifold-informed latent foresight search to boost trajectory coverage in long-context reasoning tasks by up to 13 AUC points with minimal overhead.
DIBA detects membership of prompts in RLVR training by measuring reward success changes and policy behavioral drift between pre- and post-RLVR model checkpoints.
Survey that defines agentic RL for LLMs via POMDPs, introduces a taxonomy of planning/tool-use/memory/reasoning capabilities and domains, and compiles open environments from over 500 papers.
PEER applies GRPO reinforcement learning with a unified process-outcome reward model to structured empathetic reasoning steps on the SER dataset, yielding gains in empathy, strategy alignment, and human-likeness.
RL for LLM multi-step tool use collapses from control token probability spikes but interleaving SFT improves stability at the cost of OOD generalization.
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.
SDPG combines group-relative verifier advantages, normalized standard deviation, full-vocabulary on-policy self-distillation, and reference-policy KL regularization to improve stability and performance over RLVR and self-distillation baselines in language model RL.
The paper reviews conceptual foundations, methodological innovations, effective designs, critical challenges, and future directions for LLM-based Agentic Reinforcement Learning.
