arXiv:2503. 00539v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) has evolved to be one of the main methods for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs).
The paper introduces PLUS, a framework that uses reinforcement learning to generate text-based summaries of individual users’ preferences, characteristics, and past conversations. These summaries condition a reward model, allowing it to predict personalized response preferences and improving reward accuracy by 11–77 % over the standard Bradley‑Terry model. PLUS demonstrates robust performance with new users and topics, achieves a 25 % improvement over existing personalized RLHF techniques, and enables zero‑shot personalization for state‑of‑the‑art models like GPT‑4.

The paper explores how dense, turn-level reward structures can improve reinforcement learning for large language model agents in multi-turn tasks. It introduces three reward granularity types—terminal, delayed, and per-turn—and adapts Group Relative Policy Optimization and Proximal Policy Optimization to each. Experiments on search and game agents show that per-turn rewards consistently yield better training dynamics, faster convergence, and higher answer correctness compared to sparse terminal or delayed rewards.

EmbodiedMind introduces a three-stage training paradigm for embodied foundation models that tackles inefficient sample use, task imbalance, and credit assignment in long-horizon planning. The stages—Rejection Sampling-based Fine‑Tuning, Iterative Rejection GRPO, and Trie‑GRPO—filter low‑informative data, balance task difficulty, and use action prefix trees for step‑level advantage estimation. This approach yields a state‑of‑the‑art average performance of 70.02% across 18 benchmarks, notably improving long‑horizon task planning accuracy.
