LLMs Can Learn to Reason Via Off-Policy RL

Daniel Ritter, Owen Oertell, Bradley Guo +3

Reinforcement learning (RL) approaches for Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently use on-policy algorithms, such as PPO or GRPO. However, policy lag from distributed training arch…

: Provably Optimal Distributional RL for LLM Post-Training

Jin Peng Zhou, Kaiwen Wang, Jonathan Chang +5

Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training is crucial for LLM alignment and reasoning, but existing policy-based methods, such as PPO and DPO, can fall short of fixing shortcuts inh…

Value-Guided Search for Efficient Chain-of-Thought Reasoning

Kaiwen Wang, Jin Peng Zhou, Jonathan Chang +4

In this paper, we propose a simple and efficient method for value model training on long-context reasoning traces. Compared to existing process reward models (PRMs), our method doe…

Regressing the Relative Future: Efficient Policy Optimization for Multi-turn RLHF

Zhaolin Gao, Wenhao Zhan, Jonathan D. Chang +4

Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success at tasks like summarization that involve a single turn of interaction. However, they can still struggle with multi-tur…

Dataset Reset Policy Optimization for RLHF

Jonathan D. Chang, Wenhao Zhan, Owen Oertell +4

Reinforcement Learning (RL) from Human Preference-based feedback is a popular paradigm for fine-tuning generative models, which has produced impressive models such as GPT-4 and Cla…
