VI-CuRL: Stabilizing Verifier-Independent RL Reasoning via Confidence-Guided Variance Reduction
Researchers have developed VI-CuRL, a new framework designed to stabilize reinforcement learning for large language models without relying on external verifiers. This method uses the model's internal confidence to guide training, effectively reducing variance and preventing common training collapses. VI-CuRL has demonstrated improved stability and performance over existing methods on various reasoning benchmarks. AI
