SPPO: Sequence-Level PPO for Long-Horizon Reasoning Tasks
Tianyi Wang, Yixia Li, Long Li +6
Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) is central to aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) in reasoning tasks with verifiable rewards. However, standard token-level PPO struggles in th…
SQL-ASTRA: Alleviating Sparse Feedback in Agentic SQL via Column-Set Matching and Trajectory Aggregation
Long Li, Zhijian Zhou, Jiangxuan Long +5
Agentic Reinforcement Learning (RL) shows promise for complex tasks, but Text-to-SQL remains mostly restricted to single-turn paradigms. A primary bottleneck is the credit assignme…
Anchored Policy Optimization: Mitigating Exploration Collapse Via Support-Constrained Rectification
Tianyi Wang, Long Li, Hongcan Guo +5
Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) is increasingly viewed as a tree pruning mechanism. However, we identify a systemic pathology termed Recursive Space Contracti…
Count Counts: Motivating Exploration in LLM Reasoning with Count-based Intrinsic Rewards
Xuan Zhang, Ruixiao Li, Zhijian Zhou +7
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has become a compelling way to strengthen the multi step reasoning ability of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, prevalent RL paradigms still lean o…
To Code or not to Code? Adaptive Tool Integration for Math Language Models via Expectation-Maximization
Haozhe Wang, Long Li, Chao Qu +4
Recent advances in mathematical problem-solving with language models (LMs) integrate chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning and code execution to harness their complementary strengths. H…
How Do Humans Write Code? Large Models Do It the Same Way Too
Long Li, Xuzheng He, Haozhe Wang +2
Program-of-Thought (PoT) replaces natural language-based Chain-of-Thought (CoT) as the most popular method in Large Language Models (LLMs) mathematical reasoning tasks by utilizing…
