arXiv:2610.01973v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) for video generation usually assigns one scalar reward to an entire sampled video. Yet a video is not uniformly flawed: som...
The paper introduces Potential-Guided Policy Optimization (PGPO), a method for multi-turn agentic tasks that improves credit assignment by estimating empirical state potentials from anchor-state-group return statistics. PGPO derives action advantages from potential differences between adjacent states, enabling cross-trajectory credit propagation and finer-grained step-level credit assignment, especially within failed trajectories. Experiments on ALFWorld and WebShop demonstrate strong performance compared to recent group-based reinforcement learning methods, with negligible training overhead.
PGPO: Potential-Guided Policy Optimization for Multi-Turn Agentic Tasks proposes a new reinforcement learning approach that estimates empirical state potentials from anchor-state-group return statistics within each rollout group. By deriving action advantages from potential differences between adjacent states, PGPO enables cross‑trajectory credit propagation, providing finer‑grained step‑level credit assignment, especially within failed trajectories. Experiments on ALFWorld and WebShop demonstrate strong overall performance compared to recent group‑based RL methods, with negligible training overhead.
arXiv:2605. 13217v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning has become a powerful paradigm for post-training large language model agents, yet credit assignment in multi-turn environments remains a challenge.
Reinforcement learning (RL) is vital for optimizing video generation models, with a robust reward model (RM) serving as the cornerstone. However, existing video reward models often produce unstable sc...
