RRPO: Reference-Relative Policy Optimization with Stratified Conditional Rollouts

Yuxin Xiong, Xunyi Jiang, Rohan Surana, Xintong Li, Sheldon Yu, Nikki Lijing Kuang, et al.

Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) has shown strong effectiveness in reinforcement learning from verifiable feedback, where sampled rollouts can be compared within a group using task-provided correctness signals. However, extending group-relative optimization beyond verifi…

Can We Break LLMs Out of Self-Loops? Fine-Grained Reasoning Control with Activation Steering

Sheldon Yu, Tong Yu, Xunyi Jiang, Rohan Surana, Gagan Mundada, Sungchul Kim, et al.

Extended reasoning has become standard for frontier Large Language Models (LLMs), yet the trajectories these models produce remain largely uncontrollable. Existing methods for shaping how a model reasons are prompt based approaches and operate at the input level, offering no fine…

BACON: Budgeted Human Calibration for Modeling and Evaluation with Multiple AI Judges

Lei Shi, Anlan Zhang, Rita Lyu, Zhengmian Hu, Tong Yu, David Arbour, et al.

AI judges offer a scalable, low-cost alternative to human evaluation, but their outputs can be biased relative to human preferences and highly item-dependent, varying across judges, tasks, and domains. When uncalibrated AI evaluations are used for model ranking, item scoring, or…

Potato Leaf Area Index Estimation Using Multi-Sensor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Imagery and Machine Learning

Tong Yu, Jing Zhou, Jiahao Fan, Yi Wang, Zhou Zhang

Potato holds significant importance as a staple food crop worldwide, particularly in addressing the needs of a growing population. Accurate estimation of the potato Leaf Area Index (LAI) plays a crucial role in predicting crop yield and facilitating precise management practices.…
