The Optimizer Is the Agent: Reasoning-Driven Search across Prompts, Programs, and ML Workflows

Junbo Li, Boyi Liu, Canwen Xu +5

Recent systems for optimizing prompts, programs, and ML workflows typically rely on explicit outer-loop controllers such as evolutionary search, bandits, or textual-gradient method…

Residual Skill Optimization for Text-to-SQL Ensembles

Jiongli Zhu, Haoquan Guan, Parjanya Prajakta Prashant +8

Text-to-SQL ensembles improve over single-candidate generation by drawing multiple SQL candidates and selecting one, but their effectiveness is bounded by Pass@K, the probability t…

R-SQL: Ranking Reward and Resampling for Text-to-SQL

Hojae Han, Yeonseok Jeong, Seung-won Hwang +2

Modern Text-to-SQL systems generate multiple candidate SQL queries and rank them to judge a final prediction. However, existing methods face two limitations. First, they often scor…

Learning to Hint for Reinforcement Learning

Yu Xia, Canwen Xu, Zhewei Yao +2

Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) is widely used for reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards, but it often suffers from advantage collapse: when all rollouts in a gr…

Learning to Self-Evolve

Xiaoyin Chen, Canwen Xu, Yite Wang +3

We introduce Learning to Self-Evolve (LSE), a reinforcement learning framework that trains large language models (LLMs) to improve their own contexts at test time. We situate LSE i…
