Evidencepartial
Our experiments demonstrate that I-PPO consistently outperforms SFT and PPO baselines.
Implicationpartial
Directly stated as an experimental result, though specific metrics are not provided in the given text.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
We show that our filtering process acts as an intrinsic early stopping mechanism, accelerating training efficiency
Implicationpartial
Directly stated as a demonstrated benefit, though the specific acceleration factor is not quantified in the given text.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
while effectively reducing unfaithful CoT reasoning.
Implicationpartial
Directly stated as a key result of the method's application.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
Traditional RL algorithms like Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) typically train on the entire rollout buffer, operating under the assumption that all generated episodes provide a beneficial optimization signal.
Implicationpartial
Directly and explicitly stated in the abstract as foundational premise.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
However, these episodes frequently contain noisy or unfaithful reasoning, which can degrade model performance and slow down training.
Implicationpartial
Directly stated in the abstract as a key problem motivating the research.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
In this paper, we propose \textbf{Influence-Guided PPO (I-PPO)}, a novel framework that integrates data attribution into the RL post-training loop.
Implicationpartial
Explicitly and precisely stated as the core contribution of the paper.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
By calculating an influence score for each episode using a gradient-based approximation, I-PPO identifies and eliminates episodes that are anti-aligned with a validation gradient.
Implicationpartial
Directly describes the core technical mechanism of the proposed method.
