: Better Prompt Optimization with Fewer Prompts

Zhaolin Gao, Yu, Wang +4

Prompt optimization improves language models without updating their weights by searching for a better system prompt, but its effectiveness varies widely across tasks. We study what…

LLMs Can Learn to Reason Via Off-Policy RL

Daniel Ritter, Owen Oertell, Bradley Guo +3

Reinforcement learning (RL) approaches for Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently use on-policy algorithms, such as PPO or GRPO. However, policy lag from distributed training arch…

Diffusing States and Matching Scores: A New Framework for Imitation Learning

Runzhe Wu, Yiding Chen, Gokul Swamy +2

Adversarial Imitation Learning is traditionally framed as a two-player zero-sum game between a learner and an adversarially chosen cost function, and can therefore be thought of as…

Regressing the Relative Future: Efficient Policy Optimization for Multi-turn RLHF

Zhaolin Gao, Wenhao Zhan, Jonathan D. Chang +4

Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success at tasks like summarization that involve a single turn of interaction. However, they can still struggle with multi-tur…
