The paper introduces DEEPO, a Dual-Entropy Enhanced Policy Optimization method designed to mitigate hallucination in multimodal large language models (MLLMs). It addresses two weaknesses in reinforcement learning: (1) hard queries with high semantic entropy produce uniformly wrong samples, erasing advantage signals, and (2) confident-but-wrong tokens become invisible to gradients as the policy sharpens. DEEPO combines semantic‑entropy‑triggered expert prefixes to inject grounded continuations and Renyi preconditioning to counter logit saturation, yielding significant hallucination reduction while maintaining accuracy and training stability.
The paper introduces Stable-MM-R1, a framework that stabilizes reinforcement learning for multimodal reasoning by addressing training instability and entropy collapse. It proposes Potential‑Aware Query Mining (PAQM) to filter data toward high‑potential samples and Hybrid Stratified Replay (HSR) to restructure batches using path entropy and reward stratification, reusing stability anchors and hard negatives. The method demonstrates superior performance on complex reasoning tasks compared to strong baselines.
arXiv:2606. 08815v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for eliciting long-chain reasoning in large language models.
The paper introduces Activation Replay, a training‑free method that improves reasoning in post‑trained large multimodal models (LMMs) by replaying low‑entropy activations from the base model’s input context. It shows that Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) shifts low‑entropy activations and that modulating these activations enhances reasoning across tasks such as mathematics, visual agents, and video reasoning. Experiments demonstrate that Activation Replay outperforms alternatives like high‑entropy replay or direct cross‑model intervention, boosting Pass@K and broadening RLVR’s reasoning coverage.
arXiv:2607. 16205v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards has emerged as a standard approach for enhancing reasoning in large language models, which typically optimizes the policy by contrasting multiple self generated rollouts.
arXiv:2606. 19771v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has significantly advanced Large Language Model (LLM) reasoning; however, it faces a fundamental optimization instability: uniform token updates precipitate entropy collapse, leading to premature convergence to suboptimal strategies, whereas excessive Shannon Entropy maximization can cause entropy explosion, driving blind exploration toward incoherent reasoning chains.
