📄 arXiv Papers — cs.AI / cs.LG / cs.CL

(The 5 papers most relevant to agents / reasoning / post-training, submitted 2026-11-10)

AutoScaffold: AI-Guided Scaffolding for Reinforcement Learning of Language Models | cs.LG | Zijian Zhang, Rizhen Hu Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) compresses every attempt into a single scalar and wastes most of the training signal. The authors use AI-generated "scaffolding" to guide the RL process so that information from intermediate steps is used too.
ReTrace: Distilling Tool-Using Agents into Planner-Free Workflows | cs.AI | Kaiyuan Hou, Yang Ping Kuo Enterprises run the same SOP over and over, while a tool-calling LLM agent re-plans every time — expensive and unstable. The paper distills such agents into a fixed workflow that contains no planner.
Continual-ARC: Measuring Skill Acquisition over a Working Lifetime | cs.LG | Daniel Lenton Measures the continual learning ability of an agent harness on the scale of "one working lifetime", and points out the limits of existing benchmarks regarding time span and skill accumulation.
A Theory of Policy Optimization in Post-Training: Coverage Collapse and Reference Resets | cs.LG | Audrey Huang, Nan Jiang Revisits the theoretical foundations of policy optimization in post-training, proposing coverage collapse and reference reset as two mechanisms that explain which algorithms can learn near-optimal policies.
A Margin Perspective on LoRA: Robustness to Catastrophic Forgetting and Adapter Merging (MaLoRA) | cs.LG | Ziqing Xu, Hancheng Min Explains from a margin perspective why LoRA is naturally resistant to catastrophic forgetting, and improves the merging of multiple adapters on that basis.
