Residual Visual Credit Optimization: Conserved Evidence Routing for Multimodal Reinforcement Learning

Lin Qiu, Yao Liu, Diyi Hu +6

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards scales multimodal reasoning, but an outcome reward says how much a trajectory is worth, not how that value should be spread over the…

SVR-R1: Bootstrapping Multi-modal Reasoning with Self-verification in Reinforcement Learning

Mingyuan Wu, Jingcheng Yang, Shengyi Qian +11

We introduce Self-Verified Reasoner (SVR-R1), a multi-turn RL framework that turns a model's own verification into a learning signal for multimodal reasoning. For each query, the m…

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…

RecoWorld: Building Simulated Environments for Agentic Recommender Systems

Fei Liu, Xinyu Lin, Hanchao Yu +12

We present RecoWorld, a blueprint for building simulated environments tailored to agentic recommender systems. Such environments give agents a proper training space where they can…
