## Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[The Entropy Mechanism of Reinforcement Learning for Reasoning Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/cui-2025-entropy-mechanism-reinforcement-learning-reasoning/)** *(2025 · 101 citations)* Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards is now a main way to improve LLM reasoning, but scaling it hits a recurring problem. Without explicit regularization, policy entropy falls to almost zero within the first training steps. The model becomes overconfident, stops exploring and its validation accuracy stalls.
2. **[Free Process Rewards without Process Labels](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yuan-2024-free-process-rewards-process-labels/)** *(2024 · 58 citations)* Process reward models (PRMs) score each step of a reasoning chain and often beat outcome reward models (ORMs), but they need step-level labels.
