Proposing Better Rollouts for On-Policy Distillation

On-policy distillation (OPD) improves language-model post-training by letting the student learn from its own sampled trajectories under teacher supervision, aligning the training process with inference-time behavior. However, the rollout policy in OPD is usually treated as fixed: each round samples directly from the cu...

CURIO: Curiosity-Driven Test-Time Learning for Open-Ended Discovery

Open-ended discovery requires learning from repeated attempts while continuing to explore directions whose value is not yet apparent. Search with a frozen large language model (LLM) can reuse previous solutions in context, but cannot update the model from its successes and failures on the test problem. Reinforcement le...
