Reinforcement Learning for improving Large Language Models' Catalan text simplification capabilities

The paper explores using reinforcement learning to enhance automatic text simplification for low‑resource languages, focusing on Catalan. It introduces a new reward function that blends the SARI metric with penalty terms, and applies Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) to fine‑tune the IberianLLM‑7B‑Instruct model on the ASSET dataset. Post‑training, the model shows improved simplification performance on two Catalan benchmarks and reduces prior negative behaviors, though cross‑lingual transfer from English, Spanish, and Catalan translations of ASSET does not yield significant gains on an out‑of‑domain benchmark.

CHAI for LLMs: Improving Code-Mixed Translation in Large Language Models through Reinforcement Learning with AI Feedback

CHAI for LLMs is a framework that improves large language models’ performance on code‑mixed translation tasks by using LLMs as annotators to create preference data, applying reinforcement learning from AI feedback, incorporating LLM‑generated domain knowledge for iterative refinement, and evaluating on real‑world datasets. The approach yields a 68.45% average win rate over state‑of‑the‑art open‑source models in human‑adjudicated tests. It demonstrates a scalable method to enhance code‑mixed language understanding in open‑source LLMs.

HOMURA: Taming the Sand-Glass for Time-Constrained LLM Translation via Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces Sand-Glass, a benchmark for evaluating translation under syllable-level duration constraints, and proposes Homura, a reinforcement learning framework that optimizes the trade-off between semantic preservation and temporal compliance. Homura uses a constrained reinforcement learning objective with a dynamic syllable-ratio reward to effectively control output length. Experimental results show that Homura outperforms strong baselines, achieving precise length control while maintaining semantic adequacy.

SAPO: Single-Rollout Autoregressive Policy Optimization for Agentic Reinforcement Learning

Agentic reinforcement learning (RL) has become a critical stage in the post-training of large language models. Existing critic-free, group-relative methods estimate policy advantages from multiple rollouts, avoiding the substantial memory overhead of conventional proximal policy optimization (PPO) and achieving strong performance on long-horizon interactive tasks.
