HeaPA: Difficulty-Aware Heap Sampling and On-Policy Query Augmentation for LLM Reinforcement Learning

Weiqi Wang, Xin Liu, Binxuan Huang +13

RLVR has become a standard recipe for training LLMs on reasoning tasks with verifiable outcomes, but when rollout generation dominates the cost, efficiency hinges on which prompts…

SFT Doesn't Always Hurt General Capabilities: Revisiting Domain-Specific Fine-Tuning in LLMs

Jiacheng Lin, Zhongruo Wang, Kun Qian +14

Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) on domain-specific datasets is a common approach to adapt Large Language Models (LLMs) to specialized tasks but is often believed to degrade their gene…

Self-Rewarding PPO: Aligning Large Language Models with Demonstrations Only

Qingru Zhang, Liang Qiu, Ilgee Hong +11

Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) has emerged as a crucial method for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human-annotated demonstrations. However, SFT, being an off-policy approa…

Ask a Strong LLM Judge when Your Reward Model is Uncertain

Zhenghao Xu, Qin Lu, Qingru Zhang +9

Reward model (RM) plays a pivotal role in reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) for aligning large language models (LLMs). However, classical RMs trained on human prefe…
