Two-Fidelity Best-Action Identification for Stochastic Minimax Tree

Peter Chen, Xi Chen

We study fixed-confidence best-action identification (BAI) in stochastic minimax trees. This problem is increasingly relevant in modern AI planning, where deep minimax search and M…

Reward-free Alignment for Conflicting Objectives

Peter Chen, Xiaopeng Li, Xi Chen +1

Direct alignment methods are increasingly used to align large language models (LLMs) with human preferences. However, many real-world alignment problems involve multiple conflictin…

Exploration vs Exploitation: Rethinking RLVR through Clipping, Entropy, and Spurious Reward

Peter Chen, Xiaopeng Li, Ziniu Li +3

This paper examines the exploration-exploitation trade-off in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), a framework for improving the reasoning of Large Language Model…

GenEnv: Difficulty-Aligned Co-Evolution Between LLM Agents and Environment Simulators

Jiacheng Guo, Ling Yang, Peter Chen +6

Training capable Large Language Model (LLM) agents is critically bottlenecked by the high cost and static nature of real-world interaction data. We address this by introducing GenE…
