Early Verdicts, Better Budgets: Sequential Adaptive Rollout Allocation for Compute-Efficient RLVR

arXiv:2607. 26253v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is bottlenecked by rollout generation, yet many sampled prompts produce saturated groups (all responses correct or all incorrect) whose zero reward variance yields no policy-gradient signal.

CODS: Iterative Bellman-Residual Data Selection for Reusable Offline Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2608. 07719v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Offline reinforcement learning repeatedly trains policies from a fixed transition pool, making redundant data costly across seeds and hyperparameters, while naive subsampling can remove rare transitions needed for long-horizon credit assignment.

A General Framework for Budgeted Threshold Incentives on Request

The paper introduces a request-driven framework for designing budgeted threshold incentives on on-demand delivery platforms. It decomposes the process into four stages—conditional prediction, population reduction, trajectory integration, and budget allocation—using seven interchangeable modules that share conditional trajectory laws. The framework includes a response-correction step that reweights abundant no-offer data to match short pilot moments, and the authors prove that the end-to-end value loss is bounded by the sum of stage errors, with empirical results showing significant speedups and reduced regret compared to traditional trials.
