FBOS-RL: Feedback-Driven Bi-Objective Synergistic Reinforcement Learning

Researchers introduce FBOS-RL, a reinforcement learning algorithm that improves upon GRPO by incorporating feedback-guided exploration and dual training objectives (EPA and ECC) to address the problem of training stagnation when tasks exceed the model's current capabilities. The method demonstrates faster learning and higher performance ceilings compared to existing approaches while maintaining higher policy entropy and lower gradient norms.

Rewrite to Translate, Translate to Reward: Reinforcement Learning for Source Rewriting in Machine Translation

Researchers introduce RLSR, a reinforcement learning framework that trains smaller language models to rewrite source text for improved machine translation without manual prompt tuning. The approach achieves competitive performance with larger models across six MT systems and 16 language pairs, demonstrating that RL-optimized 4B parameter models can match capabilities of 235B parameter prompt-based systems.

RREDCoT: Segment-Level Reward Redistribution for Reasoning Models

Researchers introduce RREDCoT, a novel method for improving reasoning language models by redistributing rewards at the segment level during reinforcement learning training. The approach addresses the high variance problem inherent in current Chain-of-Thought optimization methods by using the model itself to estimate which parts of reasoning traces deserve higher rewards, without requiring expensive additional computation.

Scalable Reinforcement Learning via Adaptive Batch Scaling

Researchers propose Adaptive Batch Scaling (ABS), a technique that dynamically adjusts batch sizes during reinforcement learning training by measuring policy stability through a novel 'Behavioral Divergence' metric. The approach challenges the conventional belief that large batches are incompatible with RL, demonstrating that combining larger networks with larger batch sizes can achieve superior performance when batch size adapts to training phase stability.

Boosting RL-Based Visual Reasoning with Selective Adversarial Entropy Intervention

Researchers propose Selective-adversarial Entropy Intervention (SaEI), a novel method that improves reinforcement learning-based visual reasoning in vision-language models by strategically introducing adversarial perturbations to visual inputs during RL sampling. The technique combines entropy-guided adversarial sampling with token-selective entropy computation to enhance policy exploration without compromising the models' factual knowledge.

StructRL: Recovering Dynamic Programming Structure from Learning Dynamics in Distributional Reinforcement Learning

StructRL is a new reinforcement learning framework that recovers dynamic programming structure from distributional learning dynamics without requiring explicit models. The research demonstrates that temporal patterns in return distribution evolution reveal inherent structure in how information propagates through state spaces, enabling more efficient and stable learning.
