This paper introduces an instruction-free alignment-only method for building large audio-language models by freezing the LLM and audio encoder, training only a lightweight projector on self-generated data, achieving competitive performance with less data than traditional multi-stage pipelines.
This paper investigates how using diverse self-generated data during mid-training improves the effectiveness of Reinforcement Learning in Large Language Models, particularly for reasoning tasks.
This paper proposes mid-training language models on self-generated diverse reasoning traces before reinforcement learning, showing improved RL performance on math benchmarks by exposing models to multiple valid solution approaches.
