  • 按交互深度分组归一化信息增益,解决不同轮次间上下文差异问题。
  • 通过方差缩放的折现累积,保持各轮优势值稳定,不随对话长度漂移。
  • 动态调整每轮剪裁范围,让重要步骤获得更大更新空间,适合复杂对话训练。

针对智能体大模型强化学习中因稀疏轨迹奖励导致的步骤贡献难评估问题,本文提出A²TGPO方法。该方法以信息增益(IG)作为内在过程信号,但重构其归一化、累积与应用方式:(i) 轮次分组归一化,在相同交互深度内比较各轮;(ii) 方差缩放折现累积,通过除以累积项数的平方根,使各轮优势值在不同深度下可比;(iii) 自适应轮级剪裁,根据归一化后的IG动态调节每轮剪裁范围,对高信息量轮次放宽更新空间,低信息量轮次收紧。该方法无需外部评估器或结构化展开,有效提升多轮对话中策略更新的精度与稳定性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reinforcement learning for agentic large language models (LLMs) typically relies on a sparse, trajectory-level outcome reward, making it difficult to evaluate the contribution of individual tool-calls within multi-turn interactions. Existing approaches to such process credit assignment either depend on separate external process reward models that introduce additional consumption, or tree-based structural rollout that merely redistributes the outcome signal while constraining trajectory diversity. A promising alternative leverages the per-turn change in the policy's predicted probability of the ground-truth, termed Information Gain (IG), as an intrinsic process signal without an external evaluator. However, prior work on leveraging IG signals within the RL training loop faces three systematic challenges: normalizing across turns that face heterogeneous positional contexts can distort the relative standing of individual turns, accumulating a variable number of terms causes advantage magnitudes to drift with trajectory depth, and a fixed clipping range governs policy updates identically for turns with vastly different IG signals. In this paper, we propose A$^2$TGPO (Agentic Turn-Group Policy Optimization with Adaptive Turn-level Clipping), which retains IG as the intrinsic signal but re-designs how it is normalized, accumulated, and consumed: (i) turn-group normalization: normalizes IG within each (prompt, turn-index) group so that each turn is compared only against peers at the same interaction depth; (ii) variance-rescaled discounted accumulation: divides cumulative normalized IG by square root of accumulated terms to keep advantage magnitudes comparable across turn positions; and (iii) adaptive turn-level clipping: modulates each turn's clipping range based on its normalized IG, widening the update region for informative turns and narrowing it for uninformative ones.
