Stabilizing Off-Policy Training for Long-Horizon LLM Agent via Turn-Level Importance Sampling and Clipping-Triggered Normalization

Chenliang Li, Adel Elmahdy, Alex Boyd +7

Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms such as PPO and GRPO are widely used to train large language models (LLMs) for multi-turn agentic tasks. However, in off-policy training pipe…

Aligning Frozen LLMs by Reinforcement Learning: An Iterative Reweight-then-Optimize Approach

Xinnan Zhang, Chenliang Li, Siliang Zeng +6

Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences usually requires fine-tuning methods such as RLHF and DPO. These methods directly optimize the model parameters, so the…

Understanding Inverse Reinforcement Learning under Overparameterization: Non-Asymptotic Analysis and Global Optimality

Ruijia Zhang, Siliang Zeng, Chenliang Li +2

The goal of the Inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) task is to identify the underlying reward function and the corresponding optimal policy from a set of expert demonstrations. Wh…
