Reinforcement Learning-based Semi-supervised Knowledge Distillation with LLM-as-a-Judge

arXiv:2604. 02621v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) substantially improves the reasoning capabilities of language models, but most existing RL fine-tuning approaches rely entirely on ground-truth verifiable rewards and thus labeled datasets with verifiable answers.

TideRL: Boosting Agentic RL Goodput with Readiness-Aware Scheduling

arXiv:2608. 10402v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) for large language models is moving toward multi-turn agentic workloads, where rollout tasks repeatedly pause for external environments, resume with growing contexts, and finish at highly variable times.
