Experience replay can stretch limited data. However, current LLM replay methods such as RePO and RLEP choose what to replay using static, single-epoch signals like reward or variance, and they can feed the model stale… ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[TFROM ↗](https://doi.org/10.1145/3404835.3462882) International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval (SIGIR) · no summary yet**Yao Wu et al.*2021 · 85 citations* 2. **[GAPO: Robust Advantage Estimation for Real-World Code LLMs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-gapo-robust-advantage-estimation-real/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Jianqing Zhang, Zhezheng Hao, Wei Xia, et al.*2026 · 1 citation* 3. **[Plug-and-Play Data Module for Code RL: Adaptive Ambiguity Replay](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-plug-play-data-module-code/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Jianqing Zhang, Wei Xia, Zhezheng Hao, et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 9 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Hande Dong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hande-dong/) ×2 - [Hong Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hong-wang/) ×2 - [Jianqing Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jianqing-zhang/) ×2 - [Qiang Lin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qiang-lin/) ×2 - [Wei Xia](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wei-xia/) ×2 - [Zhezheng Hao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhezheng-hao/) ×2 - [Qiang Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qiang-yang/) - [Yang Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yang-liu/) - [Yuyan Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yuyan-zhou/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/) ×2: [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ×2 - International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval (SIGIR) Updated 2 November 2026
