CLPO: Curriculum Learning meets Policy Optimization for LLM Reasoning

arXiv:2509. 25004v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Online reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become an effective paradigm for improving the reasoning abilities of large language models, but most methods still optimize reasoning trajectories over the static problem set, wasting rollout budget on solved or overly difficult problems.

DiagEvo: Diagnosis-Guided Self-Evolution via Hierarchical Error Memory

DiagEvo is a self‑evolution framework that guides language‑model training by extracting recurring error causes from a solver’s own failure history and storing them in a hierarchical error‑cause memory. The system classifies causes as Active or Mastered, uses this information to balance targeted question generation with exploration, and applies double‑confidence filtering to keep only intermediate‑difficulty questions. Experiments show that DiagEvo outperforms baselines on nine benchmarks for three solvers, achieving up to 72.3% mean accuracy on five mathematical reasoning tasks.

NebulaExp-8B: An Empirical Post-Training Pipeline via Full-Scale Ablation Research

arXiv:2606. 26671v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Post-training alignment determines the reasoning and human preference following capabilities of large language models, yet most existing works withhold detailed data construction, filtering rules and training recipes, which hinders community reproducibility and lightweight model optimization.

Beyond Verified Answers: Solver-Informed Self-Distillation for Bootstrapping Operations Research Language Models

The paper introduces SOLID, a framework that enables operations research language models to self-improve without relying on verified answers or external evaluators. SOLID uses solver-generated artifacts from the model’s own rollouts to create pseudo-references, clustering objectives and applying group-relative advantages for dense self-supervision. Experiments on multiple OR benchmarks show that SOLID enhances solution accuracy for both general-purpose and OR-tuned models compared to outcome-only training.

Question Begets Question: Self-Evolving Curriculum for Reinforcement Fine-Tuning on Competition Mathematics

arXiv:2608. 01522v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Teaching a language model a skill it has not mastered is obstructed by three recurring difficulties: training data is scarce, ground-truth reasoning traces are usually unavailable, and models often exhibit an apparent ceiling beyond which additional data yields no further improvement.
