Distilled Reinforcement Learning for LLM Post-training

Chen Wang, Zhaochun Li, Jionghao Bai +4

Large language model (LLM) post-training is essential for improving reasoning, adaptation, and alignment. Existing methods mainly follow two paradigms: reinforcement learning (RL)…

SCOPE-RL: Stable and Quantitative Control of Policy Entropy in RL Post-Training

Chen Wang, Zhaochun Li, Jionghao Bai +3

Reinforcement learning (RL) is a key paradigm for post-training large language models (LLMs), but the widely used Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) often suffers from entro…

Implicit Compression Regularization: Concise Reasoning via Internal Shorter Distributions in RL Post-Training

Chen Wang, Hexuan Deng, Yining Zhang +5

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards improves LLM reasoning but often induces overthinking, where models generate unnecessarily long reasoning traces. Existing methods ma…

Towards a Theoretical Understanding to the Generalization of RLHF

Zhaochun Li, Mingyang Yi, Yue Wang +2

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and its variants have emerged as the dominant approaches for aligning Large Language Models with human intent. While empirically e…

Distribution-Centric Policy Optimization Dominates Exploration-Exploitation Trade-off

Zhaochun Li, Chen Wang, Jionghao Bai +4

The exploration-exploitation (EE) trade-off is a central challenge in reinforcement learning (RL) for large language models (LLMs). With Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO),…
