| Challenge: | Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) improves reasoning in large language models but treats all correct solutions equally, potentially reinforcing flawed traces that arrive at correct answers by chance. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that reweights rewards by a factor approximately proportional to Evidence Gain and assigns higher weights to high-quality traces without requiring costly computation. |
| Outcome: | Experiments on mathematical reasoning benchmarks show that Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) improves reasoning in large language models but treats all correct solutions equally. |

| Challenge: | Large language model post-training often adopts an off-policy training paradigm . however, the off-poliicy training model introduces distribution shifts that push the policy beyond the trust region. |
| Approach: | They propose to use the entropy ratio as a global metric to measure the relative change in policy exploration throughout updates. |
| Outcome: | Experiments show that the proposed metric improves performance across multiple benchmarks. |
