Procedural Memory Distillation: Online Reflection for Self-Improving Language Models

Ye Liu, Srijan Bansal, Bo Pang +6

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), along with recent selfdistillation variants such as SDPO, evaluates each rollout against a verifier and updates the policy fr…

CAST: Non-Privileged Clipped Asymmetric Self-Teaching with Advantage Flipping for GRPO

Yang Li, Gongle Xue, Yijia Guo +3

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), especially Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), has been widely used to improve reasoning in large language models. How…

Beyond Mode Collapse: Distribution Matching for Diverse Reasoning

Xiaozhe Li, Yang Li, Xinyu Fang +10

On-policy reinforcement learning methods like GRPO suffer from mode collapse: they exhibit reduced solution diversity, concentrating probability mass on a single solution once disc…

What and When to Distill: Selective Hindsight Distillation for Multi-Turn Agents

Xiaozhe Li, Tianyi Lyu, Yang Li +6

Reinforcement learning can train LLM agents from sparse task rewards, but long-horizon credit assignment remains challenging: a single success-or-failure signal must be distributed…

LACE: Lattice Attention for Cross-thread Exploration

Yang Li, Zirui Zhang, Yang Liu +1

Current large language models reason in isolation. Although it is common to sample multiple reasoning paths in parallel, these trajectories do not interact, and often fail in the s…

Forge: Quality-Aware Reinforcement Learning for NP-Hard Optimization in LLMs

Xiaozhe Li, Xinyu Fang, Shengyuan Ding +5

Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success on reasoning benchmarks through Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR), excelling at tasks such as math…
