On the effectiveness of reward functions in reinforcement learning for confidence calibration of large language models
Chee Heng Tan, Zhuoyi Lin, Mehul Motani +1
In this paper, we consider the setting where large language models (LLMs) are trained using reinforcement learning (RL) to simultaneously improve reasoning accuracy and verbalize i…
Rethinking the Trust Region in LLM Reinforcement Learning
Penghui Qi, Xiangxin Zhou, Zichen Liu +4
Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a cornerstone for fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs), with Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) serving as the de facto standard algorith…
Intrinsic Wasserstein Rates for Score-Based Generative Models on Smooth Manifolds
Guoji Fu, Taiji Suzuki, Wee Sun Lee +1
Score-based generative models are trained in high-dimensional ambient spaces, yet many data distributions are supported on low-dimensional nonlinear structures. We prove that, for…
SPIRAL: Self-Play on Zero-Sum Games Incentivizes Reasoning via Multi-Agent Multi-Turn Reinforcement Learning
Bo Liu, Leon Guertler, Simon Yu +9
Recent advances in reinforcement learning have shown that language models can develop sophisticated reasoning through training on tasks with verifiable rewards, but these approache…
Optimizing Anytime Reasoning via Budget Relative Policy Optimization
Penghui Qi, Zichen Liu, Tianyu Pang +3
Scaling test-time compute is crucial for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). Existing approaches typically employ reinforcement learning (RL) to m…
Defeating the Training-Inference Mismatch via FP16
Penghui Qi, Zichen Liu, Xiangxin Zhou +4
Reinforcement learning (RL) fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs) often suffers from instability due to the numerical mismatch between the training and inference policies. Wh…
