GRAIL: Gradient-Reweighted Advantages for Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards

Tej Deep Pala, Vernon Toh, Soujanya Poria

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (e.g. GRPO) is now a common way to improve mathematical reasoning in Large Language Models (LLMs). However, current methods usually b…
