Beyond Euclidean Clipping: Overcoming Exploration Collapse in LLM RL via Riemannian Isometric Policy Optimization

Zhicheng Cai, Xinyuan Guo, Hanlin Wu, Mingxuan Wang, Wei-Ying Ma, Ya-Qin Zhang, et al.

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a dominant paradigm for enhancing LLMs' reasoning capabilities. However, RL algorithms with PPO-Clip are inherently limited by exploration collapse. Subsequent works remain primarily heuristic and fail to identify the essential cause of PPO-…

Weak-to-Strong Generalization via Direct On-Policy Distillation

Shiyuan Feng, Huan-ang Gao, Haohan Chi, Hanlin Wu, Zhilong Zhang, Zheng Jiang, et al.

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is a powerful recipe for improving language-model reasoning, but it is expensive to repeat on every new strong model because the target model must generate many rollouts during training. As models scale, post-training itself b…

Spectral Rewiring for Exploration, Purification, and Model Merging

Zhilong Zhang, Hongli Yu, Huan-ang Gao, Hanlin Wu, Yuxuan Song, Wei-Ying Ma, et al.

Reinforcement learning has become a standard post-training recipe for large language models, but dense full-parameter updates create two deployment-relevant bottlenecks: suppressed reasoning performance, often reflected by premature saturation of test-time scaling, and interferen…
