Title: GEOALIGN: Geometric Rollout Curation for Robust LLM Reinforcement Learning

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.26917v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Online reinforcement learning is widely used to align large language models (LLMs) with reward signals, yet training can be unstable under noisy or misspecified rewards. We identify a failure mode we call directional inconsistency: within a batch, a small set of high-reward rollouts induces representation-space preference directions that sharply disagree with the batch majority, resulting in high-variance and destabilizing updates. We propose geo
