arXiv:2601.05633v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent LLMs excel at formal tasks such as mathematical reasoning and code generation, but still struggle with broader abilities such as planning, creativity, and social intelligence. Inspired by human learning, where formal instruction and informal experience jointly shape intelligence, we introduce informal learning into LLM training and use games as annotation-free, feedback-driven environments. To cover diverse abilities including abstract reasoning, planning, creativity, and social interaction, we combine formal math tasks with three repr
The continuous drive to enhance LLM capabilities and bridge the gap between their statistical reasoning and human-like intelligence, alongside advancements in reinforcement learning, makes this research timely.
This research outlines a novel approach to LLM training that could significantly improve their generalizable abilities beyond formal tasks, potentially leading to more robust and versatile AI.
The paradigm of LLM training could shift to incorporate more informal, feedback-driven learning environments, moving beyond pure data ingestion to experiential learning.
