DMRL: Document-Mediated Reinforcement Learning for Skill Optimization in Advertising Recommendation

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces Document-Mediated Reinforcement Learning (DMRL), a framework that treats skill document optimization in advertising recommendation as a sequence of structured editing actions. An upper-level agent edits the skill documents while a frozen lower-level task agent evaluates the edits via A/B testing. DMRL incorporates Dual-Relative Policy Optimization for robust advantage estimation and a Long-term Reward Predictor that models population heterogeneity to estimate long-term outcomes, achieving superior performance on a large-scale short‑video ads platform.

SkillRise: Agentic Reinforcement Learning for Cross-Task Skill Evolution

Large language model agents often encounter related yet distinct tasks that share reusable solution patterns. Yet standard agentic reinforcement learning treats tasks as independent episodes, while existing approaches to skill learning either focus on repeated attempts of one task or use pipelines with multiple stages that entangle extraction, retrieval, and execution.
