MInTRL enhances on-policy RL with minimal interventions · 2 sources tracked

Researchers have introduced Minimal Intervention Reinforcement Learning (MInTRL), a novel approach to enhance on-policy reinforcement learning. MInTRL expands exploration by incorporating sparse, local interventions into existing on-policy rollouts. This method uses a judge-intervention policy to correct erroneous outputs and a sequence-level advantage-regression objective for training, avoiding the need for importance sampling. Experiments across math and code benchmarks demonstrate that MInTRL consistently outperforms standard on-policy and off-policy baselines, establishing minimal intervention as a viable paradigm for improving RL.

    MInTRL: Off-policy Intervention can boost On-policy RL

    arXiv:2609.12419v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards is typically performed on-policy, keeping training data close to the current policy but limiting learning to trajectories that the policy can discover itself. Off-policy methods such as…
