Valid alternative phrasings are therefore penalized, and the model tends to memorize surface wording. Training on several references per prompt could help, but the authors find it expensive and unstable. They instead… 3. **[Distributional Clarity: The Hidden Driver of RL-Friendliness in Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sun-2026-distributional-clarity-hidden-driver-rl/)** *(2026)* Under identical RL with verifiable rewards (RLVR) pipelines such as GRPO and DAPO, some model families (Qwen) improve markedly while others (Llama) gain little. ## Co-authors here 11 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Yujiu Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yujiu-yang/) ×2 - [Haifeng Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haifeng-wang/) - [Hua Ren Wu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hua-ren-wu/) - [Huang He](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/huang-he/) - [Junjie Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/junjie-wang/) - [Kaidong Yu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kaidong-yu/) - [Runming Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/runming-yang/) - [Siqi Bao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/siqi-bao/) - [Taiqiang Wu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/taiqiang-wu/) - [Tao Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tao-liu/) - [Xuelong Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xuelong-li/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2025/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 16 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [5 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shaoning-sun/cited-by/).
