Faster Synchronous On-Policy RL via Straggler-Aware Group Sizing
Azal Ahmad Khan, Ammar Ahmed, Zeshan Fayyaz +3
Synchronous reinforcement learning methods such as Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) provide stable and reproducible on-policy training, but they are highly vulnerable to s…
HiPER: Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning with Explicit Credit Assignment for Large Language Model Agents
Jiangweizhi Peng, Yuanxin Liu, Ruida Zhou +4
Training LLMs as interactive agents for multi-turn decision-making remains challenging, particularly in long-horizon tasks with sparse and delayed rewards, where agents must execut…
Stabilizing Off-Policy Training for Long-Horizon LLM Agent via Turn-Level Importance Sampling and Clipping-Triggered Normalization
Chenliang Li, Adel Elmahdy, Alex Boyd +7
Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms such as PPO and GRPO are widely used to train large language models (LLMs) for multi-turn agentic tasks. However, in off-policy training pipe…
Reinforcing Multi-Turn Reasoning in LLM Agents via Fine-Grained Reward Structure and Credit Assignment
Quan Wei, Siliang Zeng, Chenliang Li +9
Reinforcement Learning (RL) approaches have been wildly used to enhance the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Model (LLM) agents in long-horizon, multi-turn scenarios. Such…
Aligning Frozen LLMs by Reinforcement Learning: An Iterative Reweight-then-Optimize Approach
Xinnan Zhang, Chenliang Li, Siliang Zeng +6
Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences usually requires fine-tuning methods such as RLHF and DPO. These methods directly optimize the model parameters, so the…
BRiTE: Bootstrapping Reinforced Thinking Process to Enhance Language Model Reasoning
Han Zhong, Yutong Yin, Shenao Zhang +10
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in complex reasoning tasks, yet generating reliable reasoning processes remains a significant challenge. We p…
