Trading Human Curation for Synthetic Augmentation in RLVR 文章

arXiv:2606.03800v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The supply of high-quality training tasks is a central bottleneck for reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (RLVR) on agentic language models. Each task requires a sandboxed setup, a prompt, and a hand-authored reward function, and only tasks that pass a quality bar produce useful training signal. Hand-curation at this quality bar does not scale economically to the task counts effective RL training requires, and the substitution rate between automatically generated task variants and human-authored ones is not yet established. We investigate using pre-specified, gate-filtered augmentations of a small hand-authored base as a substitute for additional human curation during RLVR.
