Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) is increasingly viewed as a tree pruning mechanism. However, we identify a systemic pathology termed Recursive Space Contraction (RSC), an irreversible collapse driven by the combined dynamics of positive sharpening and negative squeezing, where …
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has become a compelling way to strengthen the multi step reasoning ability of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, prevalent RL paradigms still lean on sparse outcome-based rewards and limited exploration, which often drives LLMs toward repetitive and suboptimal reasoni…
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has become a cornerstone for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, standard actor-critic methods, such as PPO, rely on scalar value functions that estimate only the expectation of cumulative returns. This reduction inherently disca…
Effective time series representation is critical for revealing temporal dynamics in many fields. However, existing approaches encounter fundamental limitations. Discrete-time representations struggle with irregular sampling and the tradeoff of fidelity and efficiency, while traditional implicit neur…
A central paradox in fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) with Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Reward (RLVR) is the frequent degradation of multi-attempt performance (Pass@k) despite improvements in single-attempt accuracy (Pass@1). This is often accompanied by catastrophic forgetting, wh…
Research ideation is crucial for scientific progress, but the exponential increase in scientific literature makes it challenging to stay updated and identify impactful directions. Recent developments in large language models(LLMs) offer a promising avenue to automate this process. However, existing
