Reinforcement Learning Meets Chain-of-Thought: Transforming LLMs into Autonomous Reasoning Agents

Reinforcement Learning Meets Chain-of-Thought: Transforming LLMs into Autonomous Reasoning Agents

Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly advanced natural language processing (NLP), excelling at text generation, translation, and summarization tasks. However, their ability to engage in logical reasoning remains a challenge. Traditional LLMs, designed to predict the next word, rely on statistical pattern recognition rather than structured reasoning. This limits their ability to solve complex problems…

This AI Paper Explores Long Chain-of-Thought Reasoning: Enhancing Large Language Models with Reinforcement Learning and Supervised Fine-Tuning

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated proficiency in solving complex problems across mathematics, scientific research, and software engineering. Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting is pivotal in guiding models through intermediate reasoning steps before reaching conclusions. Reinforcement learning (RL) is another essential component that enables structured reasoning, allowing models to recognize and correct errors efficiently. Despite these advancements,…

Process Reinforcement through Implicit Rewards (PRIME): A Scalable Machine Learning Framework for Enhancing Reasoning Capabilities

Reinforcement learning (RL) for large language models (LLMs) has traditionally relied on outcome-based rewards, which provide feedback only on the final output. This sparsity of reward makes it challenging to train models that need multi-step reasoning, like those employed in mathematical problem-solving and programming. Additionally, credit assignment becomes ambiguous, as the model does not get…

Google DeepMind Introduces MONA: A Novel Machine Learning Framework to Mitigate Multi-Step Reward Hacking in Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning (RL) focuses on enabling agents to learn optimal behaviors through reward-based training mechanisms. These methods have empowered systems to tackle increasingly complex tasks, from mastering games to addressing real-world problems. However, as the complexity of these tasks increases, so does the potential for agents to exploit reward systems in unintended ways, creating new…
