IB-RL: Isolated Bilateral Reinforcement Learning for Strategic Dialogue Agents
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.06735v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has achieved strong results in improving large language models (LLMs) on tasks with stationary, verifiable rewards, such as mathematical reasoning and code execution. In these settings, the environment follows fixed rules and does not adapt strategically to the agent. Strategic dialogue differs in this respect: the environment is another agent that adapts to the policy, and success depends on the interaction between the two sides. Despite this interactive nature, current RL approaches typically train a target agent aga
