Researchers have introduced Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning with Language Instructions (HRLLI), a novel framework that enhances reinforcement learning efficiency by dynamically selecting relevant natural language guidance during decision-making. This approach, termed "Select-to-Act," decomposes instructions into stage-specific elements, allowing a high-level policy to guide a low-level policy for adaptive action selection. Experiments on the RTFM benchmark demonstrated HRLLI's superiority over existing instruction-conditioned RL baselines. Separately, a survey reviews On-Policy Distillation (OPD) techniques for large language models, addressing the challenge of transferring frontier capabilities to smaller models and mitigating exposure bias. The survey formalizes OPD as f-divergence minimization and organizes the field by optimization targets, signal sources, and training stabilization, highlighting its connection to KL-constrained reinforcement learning.
