When in Doubt, Plan It Out: Committed Small Language Model Deliberation for Reactive Reinforcement Learning
English summary
The paper proposes a reinforcement learning methodology that integrates small language models for committed deliberation, allowing agents to plan actions before execution in uncertain environments. The approach introduces a theoretical framework for using language models to evaluate potential decisions, aiming to improve reactive performance. Experimental results demonstrate enhanced navigation and decision-making in complex scenarios through structured planning. The method bridges planning capabilities of language models with reactive RL, offering a new direction for more deliberative agents. Authors include Nathan Gavenski, Juarez Monteiro, and colleagues; the full paper is on arXiv.
