Defeating the Training-Inference Mismatch via FP16
Penghui Qi, Zichen Liu, Xiangxin Zhou +4
Reinforcement learning (RL) fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs) often suffers from instability due to the numerical mismatch between the training and inference policies. Wh…
Variational Reasoning for Language Models
Xiangxin Zhou, Zichen Liu, Haonan Wang +5
We introduce a variational reasoning framework for language models that treats thinking traces as latent variables and optimizes them through variational inference. Starting from t…
Language Models Can Learn from Verbal Feedback Without Scalar Rewards
Renjie Luo, Zichen Liu, Xiangyan Liu +5
LLMs are often trained with RL from human or AI feedback, yet such methods typically compress nuanced feedback into scalar rewards, discarding much of their richness and inducing s…
Continual Reinforcement Learning by Planning with Online World Models
Zichen Liu, Guoji Fu, Chao Du +2
Continual reinforcement learning (CRL) refers to a naturalistic setting where an agent needs to endlessly evolve, by trial and error, to solve multiple tasks that are presented seq…
Reinforcing General Reasoning without Verifiers
Xiangxin Zhou, Zichen Liu, Anya Sims +6
The recent paradigm shift towards training large language models (LLMs) using DeepSeek-R1-Zero-style reinforcement learning (RL) on verifiable rewards has led to impressive advance…
Optimizing Anytime Reasoning via Budget Relative Policy Optimization
Penghui Qi, Zichen Liu, Tianyu Pang +3
Scaling test-time compute is crucial for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). Existing approaches typically employ reinforcement learning (RL) to m…
