Researchers have developed a new framework called Exploration-Distillation (ExpDis) to improve the training of language models using reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR). This method decouples the exploration of novel ideas from the optimization process, allowing for more aggressive exploration without degrading the model's overall quality. ExpDis trains explorer policies with a novelty bonus, filters their outputs for correctness, and then distills this knowledge into a separate student policy. This iterative process has shown superior performance across multiple mathematical reasoning benchmarks compared to existing methods like DAPO++, indicating that ExpDis generates more diverse and correct solutions.
