Evolving-RL: End-to-End Optimization of Experience-Driven Self-Evolving Capability within Agents

- 以经验提取与评估为核心,分步优化提取器与求解器的协同进化
- 在ALFWorld和Mind2Web上对未见任务性能提升最高达98.7%和35.8%
- 无需测试时积累经验即可实现性能跃升,适合构建自适应智能体
经验驱动的自进化智能体旨在克服大语言模型的静态局限,通过从过往交互中提炼可复用的经验,实现部署时对新任务的自适应。这一过程对基础模型的抽象、泛化和上下文学习能力提出极高要求。然而,现有研究多关注系统设计(如经验表示与管理),忽视底层模型本身的潜力。虽有工作尝试用强化学习优化经验利用阶段,但仍未将自进化视为统一过程进行联合优化。为此,我们提出Evolving-RL,一种高效算法框架,联合优化经验提取与利用能力。具体而言,以经验提取与评估为中心,利用评估生成的两个监督信号分别优化提取器与求解器,实现其协调共进化。在ALFWorld和Mind2Web上的实验表明,Evolving-RL显著提升LLM提取与复用经验的能力,在分布外任务上相较GRPO基线最高提升98.7%(ALFWorld未见任务)和35.8%(Mind2Web),且仅在协同进化下才能完全释放性能增益。此外,Evolving-RL天然具备经验增强的强化学习特性:通过将可复用经验模式直接内化到模型参数中,在无需测试时经验积累的情况下,对已见与未见任务均取得显著优于标准基线的表现。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Experience-driven self-evolving agents aim to overcome the static nature of large language models by distilling reusable experience from past interactions, thus enabling adaptation to novel tasks at deployment time. This process places substantial demands on the foundation model's capacities for abstraction, generalization, and in-context learning. However, most existing studies focus primarily on system-level design choices, such as how experience is represented and managed, neglecting the inherent capabilities of the underlying model. While some recent works have started to optimize the experience utilization stage via reinforcement learning, they still fail to treat self-evolution as a unified process to be jointly optimized. To this end, we propose Evolving-RL, an efficient algorithmic framework that jointly improves the experience extraction and utilization capabilities required for self-evolution. Specifically, we center the learning process on experience extraction and evaluation, using the two supervisory signals derived from evaluation to optimize the extractor and solver separately and thus enable their coordinated co-evolution. Experiments on ALFWorld and Mind2Web show that Evolving-RL effectively enhances LLMs' ability to extract and reuse experience, leading to strong performance gains on out-of-distribution tasks (up to 98.7% relative improvement over the GRPO baseline on ALFWorld unseen tasks and 35.8% on Mind2Web), and these gains are fully unlocked only through the coordinated co-evolution of experience extraction and utilization. Furthermore, Evolving-RL inherently functions as an experience-augmented RL algorithm. By internalizing reusable experience patterns directly into model parameters, it achieves remarkable performance gains over standard baselines on both seen and unseen tasks, even in the absence of test-time experience accumulation.
