RLVE: Scaling Up Reinforcement Learning for Language Models with Adaptive Verifiable Environments
Zhiyuan Zeng, Hamish Ivison, Yiping Wang +14
We introduce Reinforcement Learning (RL) with Adaptive Verifiable Environments (RLVE), an approach using verifiable environments that procedurally generate problems and provide alg…
APRIL: Active Partial Rollouts in Reinforcement Learning to Tame Long-tail Generation
Yuzhen Zhou, Jiajun Li, Yusheng Su +15
Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a cornerstone in advancing large-scale pre-trained language models (LLMs). Successive generations, including GPT-o series, DeepSeek-R1, Kimi-…
Thinking in a Crowd: How Auxiliary Information Shapes LLM Reasoning
Haodong Zhao, Chenyan Zhao, Yansi Li +2
The capacity of Large Language Models (LLMs) to reason is fundamental to their application in complex, knowledge-intensive domains. In real-world scenarios, LLMs are often augmente…
Soft Thinking: Unlocking the Reasoning Potential of LLMs in Continuous Concept Space
Zhen Zhang, Xuehai He, Weixiang Yan +5
Human cognition typically involves thinking through abstract, fluid concepts rather than strictly using discrete linguistic tokens. Current reasoning models, however, are constrain…
