TPPO: Tracking-Value PPO For Language Model Reasoning

Futing Wang, Chenxi Li, Jianhao Yan +6

Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) is widely used in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards for language-model reasoning. While \emph{value evolution along trajectory} char…

SERA: Scale-Equalized Rollout Allocation for Maximum Likelihood Reinforcement Learning

Zihao Chen, Fanxiang Xiong, Hongran Ren +6

Maximum Likelihood Reinforcement Learning (MaxRL) targets prompt-wise log-success and has shown strong performance on reasoning tasks. Under finite rollout budgets, however, the es…

Bridging Interleaved Multi-Modal Reasoning as a Unified Decision Process

Zican Hu, Xuyang Hu, Yiming Liu +10

Unified multi-modal models (UMMs) have shown promising interleaved text-image reasoning capabilities, yet effectively optimizing such multi-turn generation via reinforcement learni…

ClaimDiff-RL: Fine-Grained Caption Reinforcement Learning through Visual Claim Comparison

Tianle Li, Xuyang Shen, Yan Ma +7

Long-form image captioning exposes a reward granularity problem in RL: captions are judged as whole sequences, while the important errors occur at the level of individual visual cl…

Think Longer to Explore Deeper: Learn to Explore In-Context via Length-Incentivized Reinforcement Learning

Futing Wang, Jianhao Yan, Yun Luo +6

Achieving effective test-time scaling requires models to engage in In-Context Exploration -- the intrinsic ability to generate, verify, and refine multiple reasoning hypotheses wit…

The Entropy Mechanism of Reinforcement Learning for Reasoning Language Models

Ganqu Cui, Yuchen Zhang, Jiacheng Chen +14

This paper aims to overcome a major obstacle in scaling RL for reasoning with LLMs, namely the collapse of policy entropy. Such phenomenon is consistently observed across vast RL r…

Text-to-Decision Agent: Offline Meta-Reinforcement Learning from Natural Language Supervision

Shilin Zhang, Zican Hu, Wenhao Wu +7

Offline meta-RL usually tackles generalization by inferring task beliefs from high-quality samples or warmup explorations. The restricted form limits their generality and usability…

Learning to Reason under Off-Policy Guidance

Jianhao Yan, Yafu Li, Zican Hu +5

Recent advances in large reasoning models (LRMs) demonstrate that sophisticated behaviors such as multi-step reasoning and self-reflection can emerge via reinforcement learning wit…
