P2R decouples perception from reasoning in VLMs via a two-stage process and PRA-GRPO alternating RL training, reporting gains such as 93.2% on V-Star for the 4B model over its Qwen3-VL backbone.

The cancellation hypothesis shows how rollout-level rewards produce token-level credit assignment in critic-free RL through cancellation of opposing signals on shared tokens, with empirical support and batching interventions that enhance performance.
NExt accelerates RLVR training for LLMs by nonlinearly extrapolating low-rank parameter trajectories extracted from LoRA runs.
EAPO uses policy entropy ratio to adaptively weight positive samples in RLVR for open-ended QA, claiming better diversity and stability than fixed-weight baselines on medical datasets.
Entropy polarity is a signed token-level quantity derived from a first-order approximation of entropy change that predicts whether RL updates expand or contract policy entropy in LLM fine-tuning, revealing an asymmetry between high- and low-probability tokens.
STARE applies surprisal-guided token-level advantage reweighting plus a target-entropy gate to stabilize entropy in GRPO RL for LLMs, yielding stable training and 4-8% gains on AIME24/25 over baselines.
