Meta-Reinforcement Learning with Self-Reflection for Agentic Search

Teng Xiao, Yige Yuan, Hamish Ivison +6

This paper introduces MR-Search, an in-context meta reinforcement learning (RL) formulation for agentic search with self-reflection. Instead of optimizing a policy within a single…

TurnWise: The Gap between Single- and Multi-turn Language Model Capabilities

Victoria Graf, Valentina Pyatkin, Nouha Dziri +2

Multi-turn conversations are a common and critical mode of language model interaction. However, current open training and evaluation data focus on single-turn settings, failing to…

A Good Plan is Hard to Find: Aligning Models with Preferences is Misaligned with What Helps Users

Nishant Balepur, Matthew Shu, Yoo Yeon Sung +5

To assist users in complex tasks, LLMs generate plans: step-by-step instructions towards a goal. While alignment methods aim to ensure LLM plans are helpful, they train (RLHF) or e…

Generalizing Verifiable Instruction Following

Valentina Pyatkin, Saumya Malik, Victoria Graf +5

A crucial factor for successful human and AI interaction is the ability of language models or chatbots to follow human instructions precisely. A common feature of instructions are…

Spurious Rewards: Rethinking Training Signals in RLVR

Rulin Shao, Shuyue Stella Li, Rui Xin +11

We show that reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) can elicit strong mathematical reasoning in certain language models even with spurious rewards that have little,…

RewardBench 2: Advancing Reward Model Evaluation

Saumya Malik, Valentina Pyatkin, Sander Land +4

Reward models are used throughout the post-training of language models to capture nuanced signals from preference data and provide a training target for optimization across instruc…
