Beyond Markovian: Reflective Exploration via Bayes-Adaptive RL for LLM Reasoning

ICLR 2026poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) trained via Reinforcement Learning (RL) have exhibited strong reasoning capabilities and emergent reflective behaviors, such as rethinking and error correction, as a form of in-context exploration. However, the Markovian policy obtained from conventional RL training does…

Conditional Language Policy: A General Framework For Steerable Multi-Objective Finetuning

EMNLP 2024finding

Reward-based finetuning is crucial for aligning language policies with intended behaviors (*e.g.*, creativity and safety). A key challenge is to develop steerable language models that trade-off multiple (conflicting) objectives in a flexible and efficient manner. This paper presents Conditional Lang…

Mixture-of-Experts Meets Instruction Tuning: A Winning Combination for Large Language Models

ICLR 2024poster

Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) is a neural architecture design that adds learnable parameters to Large Language Models (LLMs) without increasing computational complexity (FLOPs). Instruction tuning is a technique for training LLMs to follow instructions. We advocate combining these two approaches,…

Multi-step Problem Solving Through a Verifier: An Empirical Analysis on Model-induced Process Supervision

EMNLP 2024finding

Process supervision, using a trained verifier to evaluate the intermediate steps generated by a reasoner, has demonstrated significant improvements in multi-step problem solving. In this paper, to avoid the expensive effort of human annotation on the verifier training data, we introduce Model-induce…
