Two research papers explore advancements in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) for large language models. The first paper theoretically analyzes why RLVR outperforms supervised fine-tuning (SFT) for reasoning tasks, modeling chain-of-thought reasoning as pathfinding and demonstrating RLVR's ability to learn efficient backtracking. The second paper addresses exploration collapse in RLVR by proposing Candidate-aware Support Preservation (CaSP), a method that maintains probability mass on top candidates to improve performance across various benchmarks and model sizes.
