The Optimal Token Baseline: Variance Reduction for Long-Horizon LLM-RL
Yingru Li, Jiawei Xu, Ziniu Li +10
Reinforcement Learning (RL) for Large Language Models (LLMs) often suffers from training collapse in long-horizon tasks due to exploding gradient variance. To mitigate this, a base…
Dynamic Vocabulary Pruning: Stable LLM-RL by Taming the Tail
Yingru Li, Jiawei Xu, Jiacai Liu +6
Reinforcement Learning (RL) for Large Language Models (LLMs) faces a fundamental tension: the numerical divergence between high-throughput inference engines and numerically precise…
TreePO: Bridging the Gap of Policy Optimization and Efficacy and Inference Efficiency with Heuristic Tree-based Modeling
Yizhi Li, Qingshui Gu, Zhoufutu Wen +14
Recent advancements in aligning large language models via reinforcement learning have achieved remarkable gains in solving complex reasoning problems, but at the cost of expensive…
First Return, Entropy-Eliciting Explore
Tianyu Zheng, Tianshun Xing, Qingshui Gu +10
Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) improves the reasoning abilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) but it struggles with unstable exploration. We propose FR3E (…
General-Reasoner: Advancing LLM Reasoning Across All Domains
Xueguang Ma, Qian Liu, Dongfu Jiang +3
Reinforcement learning (RL) has recently demonstrated strong potential in enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). Particularly, the "Zero" reinforceme…
