A new research paper titled "When KL Regularization Misfires in Group Policy Optimization" explores issues with KL regularization in group policy optimization. The paper identifies seven potential failure modes where KL regularization can negatively impact performance, such as residual updates after reward clipping or gradient cancellation. To address these problems, the researchers propose Zero-Sum Calibrated Policy Optimization (ZCPO), a method that calibrates within-group reward coefficients using conditional KL and integrates them into the base surrogate.
