  • 在WebShop和ALFWorld上显著优于纯强化学习基线,提升任务成功率
  • 无需额外数据或计算开销,可直接嵌入现有强化学习框架

近期,强化学习(RL)已成为大语言模型(LLM)智能体后训练的关键范式。然而,现有方法主要依赖稀疏的任务奖励进行策略优化,未能充分利用在线交互中自然存在的密集环境反馈信号。最新理论研究表明,多步目标导向任务的泛化能力取决于对环境后果的预测知识。受此启发,我们提出TAPO:一种面向大模型智能体的过渡感知策略优化框架,通过交替进行策略优化与过渡监督。除了标准的强化学习更新外,TAPO将回放数据用于在共享主干模型上施加条件于动作的下一观测预测监督。该方法在优化策略的同时,增强了模型对环境过渡动态和动作后果的敏感性。TAPO是一种计算轻量、即插即用的增强模块,无需额外专家数据、额外采样成本或推理时开销。我们在WebShop和ALFWorld上进行了系统实验,整合了不同规模的基础模型与多种策略优化算法。实证结果表明,TAPO在各项任务上均持续优于纯策略优化基线。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recently, Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as a crucial paradigm for the post-training of Large Language Model (LLM) agents. However, existing methods predominantly rely on sparse task rewards for policy optimization, failing to fully exploit another class of inherently dense supervisory signals naturally present during online interaction: environmental feedback following action execution. Recent theoretical studies suggest that generalization in multi-step, goal-oriented tasks hinges on predictive knowledge of environmental consequences. Inspired by this, we propose TAPO: Transition-Aware Policy Optimization for LLM Agents, a unified training framework that alternates between policy optimization and transition supervision. Beyond standard RL updates, TAPO repurposes rollout data to apply action-conditioned next-observation prediction supervision on a shared backbone model. This approach enhances the model's sensitivity to environmental transition dynamics and action consequences while concurrently optimizing the policy. It serves as a computationally lightweight, plug-and-play enhancement module for existing agent RL algorithms, requiring no additional expert data, extra sampling costs, or inference-time overhead. We conduct systematic experiments on WebShop and ALFWorld, integrating foundation models of various scales with different policy optimization algorithms. Empirical results demonstrate that TAPO consistently improves task performance over pure policy optimization baselines.
