ARCA: Adapter-Residual Credit Assignment When Token Signals Degenerate

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2606. 00257v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Token-level credit assignment for language-model reinforcement learning is usually formulated as if the policy were fully trainable, while practical LLM-RL pipelines often rely on parameter-efficient fine-tuning, especially LoRA.

Learning from Own Solutions: Self-Conditioned Credit Assignment for Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards

arXiv:2606. 18810v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has driven substantial progress in training LLMs for reasoning tasks, but representative methods such as GRPO assign uniform credit across all tokens, wasting gradient on routine tokens while under-crediting pivotal reasoning steps.

How Much, Then Where: Credit-Conserving Action-to-Token Allocation for Multi-Turn Agent Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2608. 07118v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Credit assignment in multi-turn agent reinforcement learning operates at two levels: assigning trajectory-level credit to actions and distributing each action's credit across its tokens.
