arXiv:2011. 02565v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Temporal abstraction allows reinforcement learning agents to represent knowledge and develop strategies over different temporal scales.
arXiv:2606. 03962v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Classical reinforcement learning (RL) typically seeks a deterministic policy that maximizes the expected sum of a scalar reward.
Classical reinforcement learning (RL) typically seeks a deterministic policy that maximizes the expected sum of a scalar reward. Yet, modern applications such as language model fine-tuning or scientific discovery demand diversity.
arXiv:2601. 22496v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In offline goal-conditioned reinforcement learning (GCRL), hierarchical approaches decompose long-horizon tasks into high-level subgoal prediction and low-level action execution.
arXiv:2607. 08647v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As autonomous agents are increasingly deployed across diverse operational contexts, aligning their behavior with human intent demands reward functions that remain robust to such changes rather than overfitting to any single environment.
arXiv:2607. 29246v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern large language models (LLMs) are expected not just to answer correctly, but to adapt their behavior to different human values and use cases.
arXiv:2506. 13741v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Preference-based reinforcement learning (PbRL) has emerged as a promising approach for learning behaviors from human feedback without predefined reward functions.
arXiv:2509. 02522v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) have empowered large language models (LLMs) to tackle challenging reasoning tasks such as mathematics and programming, however existing RLVR methods often suffer from sparse reward signals and unstable policy gradient updates inherent to RL-based approaches.
arXiv:2409. 11535v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Many decision-support systems recommend actions by optimizing measurable objectives, even when a human decision-maker retains final authority and considers additional criteria that are difficult to specify in advance.
arXiv:2606. 19328v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Preference-based RL provides an approach to learning reward models from pairwise comparisons of behaviors, bypassing the need for explicit reward design.
arXiv:2608. 08604v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) is a powerful framework for solving complex collaborative tasks, but it relies heavily on well-defined global reward functions.
arXiv:2506. 13702v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Single-trajectory preference optimization methods learn from datasets of ((prompt, response, reward)) tuples, offering a practical alternative to pairwise preference learning by directly leveraging scalar feedback.
arXiv:2506. 01568v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Being able to solve a task in diverse ways makes agents more robust to task variations and less prone to local optima.
