Learning Self-Correction in Vision-Language Models via Rollout Augmentation

Yi Ding, Ziliang Qiu, Bolian Li +1

Self-correction is essential for solving complex reasoning problems in vision-language models (VLMs). However, existing reinforcement learning (RL) methods struggle to learn it, as…

Uniform-Correct Policy Optimization: Breaking RLVR's Indifference to Diversity

Anamika Lochab, Bolian Li, Ruqi Zhang

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has achieved substantial gains in single-attempt accuracy (Pass@1) on reasoning tasks, yet often suffers from reduced multi-sa…

Why Reasoning Fails to Plan: A Planning-Centric Analysis of Long-Horizon Decision Making in LLM Agents

Zehong Wang, Fang Wu, Hongru Wang +8

Large language model (LLM)-based agents exhibit strong step-by-step reasoning capabilities over short horizons, yet often fail to sustain coherent behavior over long planning horiz…
