arXiv:2609. 03241v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A reasoning model can improve from its own on-policy experience, but this inner loop is fragile: terminal verifiers provide reliable yet sparse supervision, while dense same-model guidance can reinforce false confidence or overconcentrate learning on a narrow solution mode.

The paper introduces a reinforcement‑learning‑guided evolutionary policy optimization framework for scheduling heterogeneous agile Earth observation satellites, addressing task selection, satellite assignment, and sequencing under diverse visibility windows, maneuvering constraints, energy use, and storage limits. It combines assignment‑based indirect encoding with decoder‑based cost evaluation to capture satellite‑dependent constraints while integrating task gain, energy savings, and load balance into a single utility metric. The resulting RLOSMEA algorithm uses reinforcement learning to select high‑level search operators, achieving higher weighted utility and more stable convergence than baseline metaheuristics across varied AEOS scenarios.

AUSO (Action-level Unified Skill Optimization) is a method that unifies skill learning and skill use through a progressive, action-aware optimization process. It starts by jointly learning from teacher guidance and environmental outcomes, then shifts to outcome-based policy optimization, and finally evaluates each action under skill-conditioned and skill-free contexts to strengthen beneficial skill-sensitive actions while suppressing harmful ones. Experiments on ALFWorld, WebShop, and SearchQA demonstrate that AUSO consistently improves agent performance and out-of-distribution generalization compared to competitive baselines.
