Title: Coupled Variational Reinforcement Learning for Language Model General Reasoning
Abstract:
arXiv:2512.12576v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While reinforcement learning has achieved impressive progress in language model reasoning, it is constrained by the requirement for verifiable rewards. Recent verifier-free RL methods address this limitation by utilizing the probabilities that LLMs generate reference answers as reward signals. However, these approaches typically sample reasoning traces conditioned only on the question. This design decouples reasoning-trace sampling from a
