UnverifiedThe statistical term retains the quartic dependence on the effective horizon that is standard in Q-Learning, which has previously been shown to be unimprovable in the worst case, and the result in this paper matches existing statistical lower bounds.75% similarUnverifiedOff-policy reinforcement learning reuses samples generated by older policies, which brings efficiency advantages but introduces distribution shift and high-variance gradient estimation problems.75% similarUnverifiedOn learned sparse retrievers, all expansion methods exhibited performance regression, corroborating concerns that query expansion may harm strong retrievers, while SAFE-QE still maintained a low hallucination rate in this scenario.73% similarUnverifiedAs generative models iterate, these logical flaws are rapidly diminishing, but as long as the underlying mechanism remains based on statistical learning rather than physical understanding, some form of logical loophole will be very difficult to eliminate entirely73% similarVerifiedSmaller models often show exponential rather than linear degradation in performance on long reasoning chain tasks.72% similar
