Policy-Conditioned Counterfactual Credit for Verifiable Reinforcement Learning of Long-Horizon Language Agents

Researchers present CVT-RL, a reinforcement learning algorithm that addresses the problem of long-horizon language agents learning shortcuts and unsupported reasoning chains by introducing policy-conditioned counterfactual credit estimation and intervention-validity gating. The method achieves 78.9% task success and reduces measured hacking attempts from 7.2% to 3.9%, demonstrating measurable improvements in agent reliability and verifiability.

SHAPO: Sharpness-Aware Policy Optimization for Safe Exploration

Researchers propose SHAPO (Sharpness-Aware Policy Optimization), a reinforcement learning technique that improves safe exploration by treating parameter sensitivity as a proxy for uncertainty. The method makes policy updates conservative in unexplored regions, demonstrating improved safety and task performance across continuous-control tasks.

Enhancing AI Interpretability and Safety through Localised Architectures

Researchers propose localised machine learning architectures as an alternative to large neural networks running on GPU clusters, arguing they could improve interpretability and energy efficiency while maintaining competitive performance on smaller datasets. The paper evaluates various hardware paradigms for implementing these distributed models, addressing growing concerns about AI safety and sustainability.

What Will Happen Next: Large Models-Driven Deduction for Emergency Instances

Researchers propose WLDS, a Large Language Model-driven system for simulating and deducing emergency scenarios across multiple domains. The system addresses limitations of traditional simulation methods by using LMs to generate diverse, realistic emergency instance variations with calibration mechanisms to ensure factual accuracy and logical consistency.
