LLM-as-a-Coach: Experiential Learning for Non-Verifiable Tasks
Tianzhu Ye, Li Dong, Guanheng Chen +4
Reinforcement learning (RL) on open-ended tasks compresses an LLM's rubric-based evaluation into a scalar reward, discarding rich textual feedback and conflating responses with dis…
Online Experiential Learning for Language Models
Tianzhu Ye, Li Dong, Qingxiu Dong +3
The prevailing paradigm for improving large language models relies on offline training with human annotations or simulated environments, leaving the rich experience accumulated dur…
Universal YOCO for Efficient Depth Scaling
Yutao Sun, Li Dong, Tianzhu Ye +3
The rise of test-time scaling has remarkably boosted the reasoning and agentic proficiency of Large Language Models (LLMs). Yet, standard Transformers struggle to scale inference-t…
On-Policy Context Distillation for Language Models
Tianzhu Ye, Li Dong, Xun Wu +2
Context distillation enables language models to internalize in-context knowledge into their parameters. In our work, we propose On-Policy Context Distillation (OPCD), a framework t…
Black-Box On-Policy Distillation of Large Language Models
Tianzhu Ye, Li Dong, Zewen Chi +3
Black-box distillation creates student large language models (LLMs) by learning from a proprietary teacher model's text outputs alone, without access to its internal logits or para…
SeerAttention-R: Sparse Attention Adaptation for Long Reasoning
Yizhao Gao, Shuming Guo, Shijie Cao +12
We introduce SeerAttention-R, a sparse attention framework specifically tailored for the long decoding of reasoning models. Extended from SeerAttention, SeerAttention-R retains the…
