Unearthing Gems from Stones: Policy Optimization with Negative Sample Augmentation for LLM Reasoning (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent advances in reasoning language models have witnessed a paradigm shift from short to long CoT pattern. |
| Approach: | They propose a behavior-constrained policy gradient with negative sample augmented (BCPG-NSA) negative steps are valuable components in long CoT models, authors argue . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms baselines on math/coding reasoning benchmarks using the same training dataset. |
Uni-Retrieval: A Multi-Style Retrieval Framework for STEM’s Education (2025.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current retrieval models focus on natural text-image retrieval, which is insufficient for STEM education contexts due to ambiguities in the retrieval process. |
| Approach: | They propose a diverse expression retrieval task tailored to educational scenarios . they extract query style features as prototypes and build a continuously updated Prompt Bank . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing retrieval models in most retrieval tasks. |
TreeRL: LLM Reinforcement Learning with On-Policy Tree Search (2025.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for On-Policy LLM RL typically train a separate process reward model, which suffers from distribution mismatch and reward hacking. |
| Approach: | They propose a reinforcement learning framework that directly incorporates on-policy tree search for RL training. |
| Outcome: | Experiments on math and code reasoning benchmarks show that tree search achieves superior performance compared to traditional ChainRL. |

| Challenge: | Legal relations are an important analytical framework for dispute resolution in civil cases. |
| Approach: | They propose a comprehensive schema for legal relations in civil cases with hierarchical taxonomy and definitions of arguments. |
| Outcome: | The proposed schema shows that existing LLMs lack the ability to identify civil legal relations and performance improves on downstream tasks. |
