  • 利用奖励方差变化检测智能体能力边界,实时发现高价值样本
  • 仅用400个初始样本和约800个活跃样本,性能媲美1.7万样本离线训练
  • 无需额外推理,可适配多轮工具调用任务,适合高效强化学习研究者

多轮工具使用强化学习受限于静态数据集中的有效样本快速耗尽。我们观察到,在GRPO中梯度信号集中在奖励方差最高的任务上,这是Popoviciu上界的结果。因此,处于智能体能力边界的样本——成功与失败概率大致平衡的样本——贡献了不成比例大的策略梯度。随着训练推进,该边界持续移动,导致静态数据集中有效样本逐渐枯竭。为此,我们提出RODS(奖励驱动在线数据合成):通过将进展奖励方差重用于零成本边界检测,实现强化学习与数据生成的闭环。它持续识别边界样本,通过技能对齐的重采样流程生成结构复杂度一致(如API拓扑、依赖深度)的新多轮变体,并维护随策略共同演化的动态回放缓冲区。从400个真人种子开始,维持约800个活跃样本,RODS在可控环境中性能媲美1.7万样本的离线流水线,同时仅需约20倍更少轨迹,优于固定数据强化学习与环境增强方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multi-turn tool-use RL is bottlenecked by the rapid depletion of informative samples in static datasets. We observe that the gradient signal in GRPO concentrates on tasks with the highest rollout reward variance, a consequence of the Popoviciu upper bound. Consequently, samples near the agent's capability boundary -- where successes and failures are roughly balanced -- contribute disproportionately large policy gradients. As training progresses, this boundary continuously shifts, which gradually depletes the pool of informative samples in a static dataset. We propose RODS (Reward-driven Online Data Synthesis) to resolve this depletion. RODS closes the loop between RL training and data generation by repurposing the progress reward variance as a practical, zero-cost boundary detector that requires no extra inference beyond the rollouts already computed for training. It continuously identifies such boundary samples, synthesizes new multi-turn variants matching their structural complexity (e.g., API topology and dependency depth) via a skill-aligned resampling pipeline, and manages a dynamic replay buffer that co-evolves with the policy. Starting from 400 human seeds and maintaining an active training pool of ~800 samples, RODS achieves comparable performance to a 17K-sample offline pipeline while requiring roughly 20x fewer trajectories, and improves over fixed-data RL and environment augmentation in our controlled setting.
