Hybrid Reinforcement: When Reward Is Sparse, It's Better to Be Dense
Leitian Tao, Ilia Kulikov, Swarnadeep Saha +5
Post-training for reasoning of large language models (LLMs) increasingly relies on verifiable rewards: deterministic checkers that provide 0-1 correctness signals. While reliable,…
RESTRAIN: From Spurious Votes to Signals -- Self-Driven RL with Self-Penalization
Zhaoning Yu, Will Su, Leitian Tao +9
Reinforcement learning with human-annotated data has boosted chain-of-thought reasoning in large reasoning models, but these gains come at high costs in labeled data while falterin…
Jointly Reinforcing Diversity and Quality in Language Model Generations
Tianjian Li, Yiming Zhang, Ping Yu +5
Post-training of Large Language Models (LMs) often prioritizes accuracy and helpfulness at the expense of diversity. This creates a tension: while post-training improves response q…
CoT-Self-Instruct: Building high-quality synthetic prompts for reasoning and non-reasoning tasks
Ping Yu, Jack Lanchantin, Tianlu Wang +6
We propose CoT-Self-Instruct, a synthetic data generation method that instructs LLMs to first reason and plan via Chain-of-Thought (CoT) based on given seed tasks, and then generat…
Bridging Offline and Online Reinforcement Learning for LLMs
Jack Lanchantin, Angelica Chen, Janice Lan +9
We investigate the effectiveness of reinforcement learning methods for finetuning large language models when transitioning from offline to semi-online to fully online regimes for b…
J1: Incentivizing Thinking in LLM-as-a-Judge via Reinforcement Learning
Chenxi Whitehouse, Tianlu Wang, Ping Yu +4
The progress of AI is bottlenecked by the quality of evaluation, making powerful LLM-as-a-Judge models a core solution. The efficacy of these judges depends on their chain-of-thoug…
