Accelerating RL for LLM Reasoning with Optimal Advantage Regression

Kianté Brantley, Mingyu Chen, Zhaolin Gao +4

Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful tool for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) to improve complex reasoning abilities. However, state-of-the-art policy opt…

Regressing the Relative Future: Efficient Policy Optimization for Multi-turn RLHF

Zhaolin Gao, Wenhao Zhan, Jonathan D. Chang +4

Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success at tasks like summarization that involve a single turn of interaction. However, they can still struggle with multi-tur…

Exploiting Structure in Offline Multi-Agent RL: The Benefits of Low Interaction Rank

Wenhao Zhan, Scott Fujimoto, Zheqing Zhu +3

We study the problem of learning an approximate equilibrium in the offline multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) setting. We introduce a structural assumption -- the interactio…

Provably Efficient CVaR RL in Low-rank MDPs

Yulai Zhao, Wenhao Zhan, Xiaoyan Hu +4

We study risk-sensitive Reinforcement Learning (RL), where we aim to maximize the Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) with a fixed risk tolerance . Prior theoretical work studying…
