Because GRPO trains only on samples from the model's current policy, it tends to reinforce reasoning the model already has instead of teaching new strategies. The authors bring mixed-policy GRPO, previously studied mainly for… ## Co-authors here 5 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Alfio Gliozzo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/alfio-gliozzo/) - [Barbara Di Eugenio](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/barbara-di-eugenio/) - [Kristian J Hammond](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kristian-j-hammond/) - [Pengshan Cai](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/pengshan-cai/) - [Riccardo Serafin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/riccardo-serafin/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/) ×2: [NAACL 2022](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/2022/), [NAACL 2003](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/2003/) - [Workshop on Structured Understanding, Retrieval, and Generation in the LLM Era](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/surgellm/): [Workshop on Structured Understanding, Retrieval, and Generation in the LLM Era 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/surgellm/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 92 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [20 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/michael-glass/cited-by/).
