Don’t Let Gains FADE: Breaking Down Policy Gradient Weights in RL

A framework decomposes RL advantage functions into gradient mass axes, showing trade-offs shift during training and motivating FADE, which adapts weights dynamically to accelerate convergence and improve accuracy-diversity trade-offs.

Reinforcement Learning for Code Optimization

Reinforcement learning for code optimization fails due to noisy, sparse execution-time rewards, so a calibrated three-stage pipeline improves strict pass rates by up to 125% while preserving correctness.

Extrapolative Weight Averaging Reveals Correctness–Efficiency Frontiers in Code RL

Nested unit-test coverage in code RL reveals a correctness, efficiency frontier that extrapolative weight averaging extends, enabling complementary checkpoints that improve pass@250 by 3.3%.
