Dual-Channel Robust Group-Relative Policy Optimization via Advantage and Sequence-Weight Estimation

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.36944v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Group-relative policy optimization relies on reward-derived advantages and sequence-level likelihood weights, both of which can be sensitive to localized outliers. Extreme rewards can collapse the contrast among clean responses after group normalization, while token-level log-ratio perturbations can alter sequence weights and clipping decisions. We introduce RoVR-GSPO, a dual-channel robust optimizer that addresses these failure modes separately. Its reward channel combines robust reference estimation with bounded residual credit, while its ratio channel uses differentiable SoftRoVR aggregation to construct robust sequence weights. We provide stability and efficiency analyses for both channels. Experiments on mathematical reasoning, long-cont
