Title: RefineRL: Advancing Competitive Programming with Self-Refinement Reinforcement Learning

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.00790v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong performance on complex reasoning tasks such as competitive programming (CP), existing methods predominantly focus on single-attempt settings, overlooking their capacity for iterative refinement. In this paper, we present RefineRL, a novel approach designed to unleash the self-refinement capabilities of LLMs for CP problem solving. RefineRL introduces two key innovations: (1) Skeptical-Agen
