DyJR: Preserving Diversity in Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards via Dynamic Jensen-Shannon Replay
While Reinforcement Learning (RL) enhances Large Language Model reasoning, on-policy algorithms like GRPO are sample-inefficient as they discard past rollouts. Existing experience replay methods address this by reusing accurate samples for direct policy updates, but this can incur additional storage costs and concentrate the policy on a narrow set of solutions. We argue that historical data should prioritize sustaining local policy plasticity rather than simply reinforcing accuracy. We define local policy plasticity as a persistent ability to remain backtrackable and switchable with respect to recent successful trajectories: throughout training, the policy maintains non-negligible support...
