ARC: Fair Relative Advantage Comparison in Open-Ended Real-World Interaction

arXiv:2608. 13622v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open-ended real-world interaction admits multiple valid behaviors: an agent may answer directly, ask for clarification, provide progress updates, or confirm before acting.

Learning to Run Power Networks: Effective AlphaZero-inspired Topological Control

arXiv:2608. 14114v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As the integration of volatile renewable energy sources increases the strain on modern power grids, the use of Reinforcement Learning (RL) for autonomous topological reconfiguration has emerged as a promising research field to keep strained grids stable and operational.

Fashion Outfit Generation via Unified Sequential Composition Models

arXiv:2608. 13888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The task of synthesizing stylistically coherent fashion outfits from massive item libraries, known as fashion outfit generation, remains a non-trivial challenge, primarily due to the non-monotonic and implicit nature of aesthetic compatibility, coupled with the exponentially large combinatorial search space.

A Graph-Based Reinforcement Learning Framework for Structured Drift Diagnosis and Recovery in Autonomous LLM Agents

arXiv:2608. 14109v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous LLM agents are increasingly deployed in complex real-world workflows, yet they remain vulnerable to runtime behavioral drift, a silent deviation from the original task that can lead to irreversible side effects on external systems.

Reinforcement Learning-Based Production Scheduling in an Industry-Based Coating Scenario Using the Digital Model Playground

arXiv:2608. 14122v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Production scheduling in complex manufacturing environments is challenging when sequence-dependent setup times, stochastic disturbances, and due-date constraints must be addressed simultaneously.

GRPO Beyond English: A Large-Scale Study of GRPO in Non-English and Multilingual Settings

arXiv:2608. 13698v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR), often optimized with Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), has become a central recipe for improving the reasoning capabilities of pretrained language models but current studies remain heavily English-centric.
