Implicit Actor Critic Coupling via a Supervised Learning Framework for RLVR

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.

RN-D: Discretized Categorical Actors for On-Policy Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2601. 23075v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: On-policy Reinforcement Learning (RL) remains a dominant paradigm for continuous control, yet standard implementations rely on Gaussian actors and relatively shallow MLP policies, often leading to brittle optimization when gradients are noisy, and policy updates must be conservative.

Act More, Decide Less: Skill-Guided Adaptive Action Chunking for Long-Horizon LLM Agents

The paper introduces SPACE, a method for enabling large language model agents to emit variable-length action chunks in long-horizon tasks. By distilling chunk-boundary supervision from programmatic skills derived from successful trajectories, SPACE overcomes the tendency of agents to either act one step at a time or commit to overly long sequences. Experiments on ALFWorld and ScienceWorld demonstrate that SPACE raises success rates by 7.0%–31.3% and cuts LLM decision rounds by up to 78.9%.
