VPD frames language feedback learning as variational EM so the teacher policy refines itself via trust-region updates on outcomes while the student learns dense token distributions on its own rollouts, outperforming fixed-teacher baselines on reasoning and code tasks.
DelTA estimates token coefficients to amplify discriminative directions in token-gradient vectors, reweighting the RLVR surrogate to produce more contrastive side-wise centroids and yielding 3.26 and 2.62 point gains on math benchmarks for 8B and 14B Qwen3 models.
HASP upgrades textual skills into executable Program Functions that intervene in LLM agent loops at inference, post-training, or self-evolution, delivering 25% gains over ReAct and 30.4% over Search-R1 on reasoning benchmarks.
PUMA detects reasoning-level semantic redundancy to enable early exit in chains of thought, achieving 26.2% average token reduction across five LRMs and five benchmarks while preserving accuracy and CoT quality.
CIPO jointly optimizes standard RLVR rewards with correction samples derived from the model's own failed attempts, yielding better reasoning and self-correction on math and code benchmarks.
Anti-Self-Distillation reverses self-distillation signals via PMI to fix overconfidence on structural tokens, matching GRPO baseline accuracy 2-10x faster with up to 11.5 point gains across 4B-30B models.
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.
Mixed-Policy Distillation transfers concise reasoning behavior from larger to smaller LLMs by having the teacher compress student-generated trajectories, cutting token usage up to 27% while raising benchmark scores.
Mid-training LLMs on self-generated diverse reasoning paths improves subsequent RL performance on mathematical benchmarks and OOD tasks.
