DiDPO: Diff-in-Diff Policy Optimization for Coding Agent Training
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.07147v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with Verifiable Reward (RLVR) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for training coding agents, where the execution feedback from compilation and tests provides objective verification. However, unlike agent tasks, coding agents face a unique and finer-grained credit assignment challenge: at each step, coding actions simultaneously pack varying changes into different regions of a code version, which makes the contribution of independent change indistinguishable. Existing RLVR methods mostly leverage the outcome reward or step-l
