Tianshi Xu, Yuteng Chen, Meng Li

CLEANER is a framework employing Similarity-Aware Adaptive Rollback (SAAR) to purify training trajectories for agentic Large Language Models, retrospectively correcting execution failures. This method yields more efficient Reinforcement Learning and boosts performance for parameter-constrained LLMs on complex reasoning and coding tasks.

Key insights

  • Leveraging a model's intrinsic self-correction capabilities to purify trajectories during data collection effectively mitigates execution noise and improves agentic RL performance.
  • Distinguishing between shallow (implementation-level) and deep (reasoning-level) errors allows for targeted adaptive replacement strategies, enhancing learning signal distillation.
  • Training on self-purified trajectories enables LLMs to internalize correct reasoning patterns and robust tool usage, reducing reliance on external debugging during inference.
