New ReCo method improves GRPO for language model reasoning

Researchers have developed ReCo, a novel reweighting method designed to improve Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) in language models. GRPO, a standard reinforcement learning technique, has been observed to sometimes reduce a model's reasoning capacity by concentrating on high-probability responses. ReCo addresses this by normalizing response contributions based on their expected occurrence and replacing the token-level importance ratio with a variance-based one. This approach aims to enhance coverage of reasoning paths, particularly for larger values of k in benchmarks like Pass@k. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to language models with improved reasoning capabilities and broader coverage of potential solutions.

    ReCo: Reweighting GRPO Against Distributional Concentration

    arXiv:2607.26862v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) has become a standard reinforcement learning method for post-training language models. Recent work shows that GRPO can reduce the base model's reasoning capacity and underperform it in Pass@…
