用离线样本稳定大模型强化学习训练,防止过拟合导致性能崩溃。

ARMOR: Stabilizing On-Policy LLM RL with Off-Policy Anchor Samples

  • 引入离线参考样本作为锚点,保持已有解法模式
  • 混合优化策略实现可控探索,无需额外损失函数
  • 在多个推理任务上显著缓解验证性能下降问题

强化学习显著提升了大语言模型的推理能力,但训练过程仍极为脆弱。本文研究发现,过度优化是造成不稳定的根源:模型会利用训练技巧而非真正提升泛化推理能力。尽管反向KL正则化是常用防御手段,但分析表明其在该场景下效果有限,无法充分覆盖参考分布。为此,我们提出ARMOR(Anchor Rollout and Mixed Optimization for RL)框架,将防御范式从被动惩罚转向主动样本稳定。ARMOR包含两个核心组件:(1) Anchor Rollout,利用参考策略的离线数据保留已确立的解法模式;(2) Mixed Optimization,重构策略目标,实现无辅助损失的可控探索。在多个推理基准上的实验证明,ARMOR有效缓解了验证性能崩溃,在长周期训练中持续提升表现。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reinforcement learning (RL) has significantly enhanced the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), yet the training process remains notoriously fragile. In this work, we investigate a critical source of this instability: over-optimization, where models exploit training heuristics at the expense of generalizable reasoning. While reverse KL regularization is the standard defense against such degradation, our analysis reveals that it is often insufficient in this regime, as it fails to ensure comprehensive coverage of the reference distribution. To address this, we propose ARMOR (Anchor Rollout and Mixed Optimization for RL), a framework that shifts the paradigm from passive penalty to active sample stabilization. ARMOR comprises two key components: (1) Anchor Rollout, which leverages off-policy data from the reference policy to preserve established solution patterns; and (2) Mixed Optimization, which reformulates the policy objective to enable controlled exploration without relying on auxiliary losses. Extensive experiments on reasoning benchmarks validate that ARMOR effectively mitigates validation collapse, enabling sustained performance improvements over extended training horizons.
