Heavy-tailed data arise in many domains where rare events carry disproportionate importance, such as imbalanced image datasets, financial returns, and weather extremes. Standard diffusion and flow-matching models typically begin from Gaussian noise or Gaussian source distribution…
Reinforcement learning (RL) has achieved remarkable success in enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). However, widely used critic-free RL methods rely on uniform credit assignment, broadcasting the same advantage to all tokens regardless of their di…
