arXiv:2606. 06058v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards is ideal for multi-constraint instruction following, yet standard group-relative policy optimization (GRPO) becomes unstable under discrete, low-dispersion rewards, where within-group reward distributions are frequently homogeneous.

arXiv:2607. 29559v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) systems are typically trained using a single, well-specified scalar reward function.

arXiv:2505. 15201v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms sample multiple n>1 solution attempts for each problem and reward them independently.

arXiv:2608. 09271v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Group-based reinforcement learning objectives such as GRPO can allocate learning signal poorly across prompt difficulty: under binary rewards, group normalization induces a divergent weighting on easy prompts.

arXiv:2602. 18037v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) or Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) are two key steps in the post-training of modern Language Models (LMs).

arXiv:2607. 04713v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning holds significant potential for training large language models (LLMs) to handle multi-turn interactive tasks.
By Qiang Liu, Taian Guo, Ruizhi Qiao, Xing Sun
arXiv:2606. 04807v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mitigating social bias in Large Language Models (LLMs) presents a distinct alignment challenge: unlike verifiable tasks, bias lacks a single ground truth, creating a high-variance, subjective reward landscape.
