让大模型从真实使用中持续学习,自动提升表现。
Online Experiential Learning for Language Models
- 从用户交互中提取经验知识,通过策略蒸馏更新模型。
- 多轮迭代后任务准确率和生成效率同步提升。
- 适合需要长期优化的对话与游戏类应用。
当前大语言模型的优化依赖离线标注或模拟环境,忽略了真实部署中积累的丰富经验。本文提出在线体验学习(OEL)框架,使模型能持续从自身部署经历中学习。OEL分为两阶段:首先在用户侧提取并积累可迁移的经验知识;其次通过在线策略上下文蒸馏将知识融入模型参数,无需访问用户环境。两阶段循环形成在线学习闭环,改进后的模型产生更高质量的交互轨迹,为下一轮提供更丰富的经验。我们在多种模型规模及带思考与不带思考的文本游戏环境中评估OEL,结果表明其在多轮迭代中持续提升任务准确率与生成效率,同时保持对分布外数据的泛化能力。分析显示,提取的经验知识显著优于原始轨迹,且知识源与策略模型之间的在线一致性是有效学习的关键。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The prevailing paradigm for improving large language models relies on offline training with human annotations or simulated environments, leaving the rich experience accumulated during real-world deployment entirely unexploited. We propose Online Experiential Learning (OEL), a framework that enables language models to continuously improve from their own deployment experience. OEL operates in two stages: first, transferable experiential knowledge is extracted and accumulated from interaction trajectories collected on the user side; second, this knowledge is consolidated into model parameters via on-policy context distillation, requiring no access to the user-side environment. The two stages are iterated to form an online learning loop, where the improved model collects higher-quality trajectories that yield richer experiential knowledge for subsequent rounds. We evaluate OEL on text-based game environments across multiple model scales and both thinking and non-thinking variants. OEL achieves consistent improvements over successive iterations, enhancing both task accuracy and token efficiency while preserving out-of-distribution performance. Our analysis further shows that extracted experiential knowledge is significantly more effective than raw trajectories, and that on-policy consistency between the knowledge source and the policy model is critical for effective learning.
