Rethinking Importance Sampling in LLM Policy Optimization: A Cumulative Token Perspective

Yuheng Zhang, Chenlu Ye, Shuowei Jin +4

Reinforcement learning, including reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), has emerged as a powerful approach for LLM post-training. Central to these approaches is th…

Reinforce-Ada: An Adaptive Sampling Framework under Non-linear RL Objectives

Wei Xiong, Chenlu Ye, Baohao Liao +6

Reinforcement learning (RL) for large language model reasoning is frequently hindered by signal loss, a phenomenon where standard uniform sampling with small group sizes fails to u…

Optimizing Chain-of-Thought Reasoners via Gradient Variance Minimization in Rejection Sampling and RL

Jiarui Yao, Yifan Hao, Hanning Zhang +4

Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning in large language models (LLMs) can be formalized as a latent variable problem, where the model needs to generate intermediate reasoning steps. Whi…
