DE-Venus: A Data-Efficient RLVR Framework for Large Language Models

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

DE‑Venus is a unified, data‑efficient framework for reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) tailored to large language models. It structures the RLVR lifecycle into three modules—Active Data Selection, Weak Supervision Construction, and Training‑Time Supervision Refinement—allowing method‑specific decisions to be expressed as dataset transitions or online transformations while maintaining distributed execution contracts. Experiments on public benchmarks and three business scenarios show that DE‑Venus can preserve or improve model quality using only 10% of labels or 13% of relevant data, and can cut convergence steps by 63%–75% in selected business configurations.
