Calibration-First Reward-Component Auditing for Reinforcement Learning Control in Smart Greenhouses

Yuhui Bie, Guowei Xu, Yaojun Wang

Greenhouse reinforcement learning can test climate-control ideas at a speed and scale that is difficult to achieve with crop experiments alone. For smart-greenhouse control, however, a single simulator return is not enough: a grower or control engineer also needs to know when the policy heats, enriches CO2, vents, manages humidity, deploys screens, or uses lamps.We propose a reproducible calibration-first reward audit framework that keeps named greenhouse-control reward components comparable across simulator training, facility-adapted rollouts, logged Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge records, and actuator-rule distillation. In GreenLight-Gym, the framework decomposes the scalar reward into conditional temperature, CO2, humidity and vapor-pressure-deficit, screen, and actuation-proxy terms; adapts GreenLight to the second Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge logged climate traces; and scores the same components on logged greenhouse data.

Stage-Transition Dense Reward Modeling for Reinforcement Learning

Yang Yang, Bingjie Chen, Zihan Wang, Yizhe Li, Guoping Pan, Yi Cheng, et al.

Reinforcement learning for long-horizon robotic manipulation is often limited by sparse and delayed rewards, while manually designing dense shaping signals is costly and brittle to changes in environments and object configurations. This work proposes Stage-Transition Dense Reward…

Non-vacuous Generalization Bounds for Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards

Yuxuan Zhu, Rohan Alur, Daniel Kang

While reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is widely used to improve the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), the generalizability of the resulting models remains poorly understood. In this work, we establish the first non-vacuous generalizatio…

Multimodal Reward Hacking in Reinforcement Learning

Jiayu Yao, Yiwei Wang, Anmeng Zhang, Zhe Sun, Songsong Wang, Lingrui Mei, et al.

Reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly used to align multimodal large language models (MLLMs), but higher rewards do not always imply better task performance. This risk is amplified when visual evidence is evaluated by text-only or weakly grounded rewards. We study reward ha…
