GRPODropout: Less is More for Online Reinforcement Learning Rollouts
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.11854v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) methods such as GRPO substantially improve large language model reasoning but often suffer from policy entropy collapse: the loss of sampling diversity weakens exploration and limits further improvement. Existing methods address this issue either through algorithm-level interventions, such as reward modification and entropy/KL regularization, or through token-level reweighting. We investigate a complementary perspective: entropy collapse can also be mitigated by changing which generated rollouts contribute to policy
