Entropy Polarity in Reinforcement Fine-Tuning: Direction, Asymmetry, and Control
Jiazheng Zhang, Ziche Fu, Junrui Shen +17
Policy entropy has emerged as a fundamental measure for understanding and controlling exploration in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) for LLMs. However, existi…
EVPO: Explained Variance Policy Optimization for Adaptive Critic Utilization in LLM Post-Training
Chengjun Pan, Shichun Liu, Jiahang Lin +10
Reinforcement learning (RL) for LLM post-training faces a fundamental design choice: whether to use a learned critic as a baseline for policy optimization. Classical theory favors…
Enhancing LLM-based Search Agents via Contribution Weighted Group Relative Policy Optimization
Junzhe Wang, Zhiheng Xi, Yajie Yang +4
Search agents extend Large Language Models (LLMs) beyond static parametric knowledge by enabling access to up-to-date and long-tail information unavailable during pretraining. Whil…
Reward Hacking in the Era of Large Models: Mechanisms, Emergent Misalignment, Challenges
Xiaohua Wang, Muzhao Tian, Yuqi Zeng +20
Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and related alignment paradigms have become central to steering large language models (LLMs) and multimodal large language models…
DFPO: Scaling Value Modeling via Distributional Flow towards Robust and Generalizable LLM Post-Training
Dingwei Zhu, Zhiheng Xi, Shihan Dou +17
Training reinforcement learning (RL) systems in real-world environments remains challenging due to noisy supervision and poor out-of-domain (OOD) generalization, especially in LLM…
DVPO: Distributional Value Modeling-based Policy Optimization for LLM Post-Training
Dingwei Zhu, Zhiheng Xi, Shihan Dou +15
Reinforcement learning (RL) has shown strong performance in LLM post-training, but real-world deployment often involves noisy or incomplete supervision. In such settings, complex a…
