Rethinking Sample Polarity in Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large reasoning models are typically trained using reinforcement learning with verifiable reward (RLVR) positive and negative self-generated rollouts are used to update the model's policy . positive samples sharpen existing correct reasoning patterns, while negative samples encourage exploration of new reasoning paths. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that allocates advantage signals to key tokens across different polarities. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves the ability of large reasoning models to learn from their own generated rollouts. |
