DaCe-DT is an offline multi‑task reinforcement learning framework that tackles data‑level bottlenecks by introducing length‑gated prompt masking, retrieval‑augmented prompt construction, and value‑adaptive return calibration. These mechanisms adapt prompts to diverse task complexities, ensure semantic relevance of prompt segments, and correct misleading supervision from fragmented trajectories. Experiments on Meta‑World show that DaCe‑DT outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods, improving performance by 11.73% on optimal datasets and 13.34% on suboptimal datasets.

The paper introduces Bidirectional Behavior Prior Distillation (B2PD), a method that uses action‑value priors to train a conditional variational autoencoder for generating high‑value behavior support. These expert behavior priors are then distilled into the online reinforcement learning agent, reducing inefficient exploration and stabilizing policy updates. Experiments on state‑ and pixel‑based tasks show that B2PD improves sample efficiency while maintaining stable learning dynamics.

arXiv:2606. 01281v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs).
The paper introduces an exploration-guided prompt scaffolding framework for multimodal large language models, dynamically adjusting the prompt distribution during reinforcement learning post-training. It uses an Exploration Potential Score (EPS) derived from KL-regularized policy improvement to assess prompt utility without extra overhead, and a teacher model rewrites low-utility prompts to preserve intent while improving informativeness. Experiments on Geo3K, MMK12, MathVision, and MMMU-Pro show consistent performance gains, up to 9.7% in-domain and over 11% on out-of-distribution benchmarks.
arXiv:2608. 09217v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a central post-training paradigm for eliciting reasoning capabilities in large language models, yet uniform task sampling allocates compute without regard to differences in how tasks respond to optimization.
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.
