Learning Latent Reasoning Traces for Scalar Reward Models End-to-End

Sanwoo Lee, Clive Bai, Hsiu-Yuan Huang +3

Reward models (RMs) are central to aligning large language models with human preferences via reinforcement learning. Although traditional scalar RMs enable efficient and probabilis…

TRACE: A Unified Rollout Budget Allocation Framework for Efficient Agentic Reinforcement Learning

Heming Zou, Qi Wang, Yun Qu +9

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is a promising approach for enhancing reasoning and agentic behavior in large language models. However, rollout-intensive poli…

ADWIN: Adaptive Windows for Horizon-Aware On-Policy Distillation

Kun Liang, Chenming Tang, Clive Bai +3

On-policy distillation (OPD) transfers reasoning behavior by training a student on teacher feedback along student-generated trajectories, but standard full-rollout training ties ev…

RLVR Datasets and Where to Find Them: Tracing Data Lineage for Better Training Data

Hsiu-Yuan Huang, Weijie Liu, Chenming Tang +5

The proliferation of Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) datasets has exacerbated provenance collapse due to unclear lineage among existing datasets. To bridge th…

Learning to Foresee: Unveiling the Unlocking Efficiency of On-Policy Distillation

Yuchen Cai, Ding Cao, Liang Lin +9

On-policy distillation (OPD) has emerged as an efficient post-training paradigm for large language models. However, existing studies largely attribute this advantage to denser and…

Listwise Policy Optimization: Group-based RLVR as Target-Projection on the LLM Response Simplex

Yun Qu, Qi Wang, Yixiu Mao +11

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become a standard approach for large language models (LLMs) post-training to incentivize reasoning capacity. Among existin…
