Fusion-PSRO: Nash Policy Fusion for Policy Space Response Oracles

For solving zero-sum games involving non-transitivity, a useful approach is to maintain a policy population to approximate the Nash Equilibrium (NE). Previous studies have shown that the Policy Space Response Oracles (PSRO) algorithm is an effective framework for solving such games. However, current methods initialize a new policy from scratch or inherit a single historical policy in Best Response (BR), missing the opportunity to leverage past policies to generate a better BR. In this paper, we propose Fusion-PSRO, which employs Nash Policy Fusion to initialize a new policy for BR training. Nash Policy Fusion serves as an implicit guiding policy that starts exploration on the current Meta-NE, thus providing a closer approximation to BR. Moreover, it insightfully captures a weighted moving average of past policies, dynamically adjusting these weights based on the Meta-NE in each iteration. This cumulative process further enhances the policy population. Empirical results on classic benchmarks show that Fusion-PSRO achieves lower exploitability, thereby mitigating the shortcomings of previous research on policy initialization in BR.

KaLM: Knowledge-aligned Autoregressive Language Modeling via Dual-view Knowledge Graph Contrastive Learning

Autoregressive large language models (LLMs) pre-trained by next token prediction are inherently proficient in generative tasks. However, their performance on knowledge-driven tasks such as factual knowledge querying remains unsatisfactory. Knowledge graphs (KGs), as high-quality structured knowledge bases, can provide reliable knowledge for LLMs, potentially compensating for their knowledge deficiencies. Aligning LLMs with explicit, structured knowledge from KGs has been a challenge; previous attempts either failed to effectively align knowledge representations or compromised the generative capabilities of LLMs, leading to less-than-optimal outcomes. This paper proposes \textbf{KaLM}, a \textit{Knowledge-aligned Language Modeling} approach, which fine-tunes autoregressive LLMs to align with KG knowledge via the joint objective of explicit knowledge alignment and implicit knowledge alignment. The explicit knowledge alignment objective aims to directly optimize the knowledge representation of LLMs through dual-view knowledge graph contrastive learning. The implicit knowledge alignment objective focuses on incorporating textual patterns of knowledge into LLMs through triple completion language modeling. Notably, our method achieves a significant performance boost in evaluations of knowledge-driven tasks, specifically embedding-based knowledge graph completion and generation-based knowledge graph question answering.

MemQ: Integrating Q-Learning into Self-Evolving Memory Agents over Provenance DAGs

Episodic memory allows LLM agents to accumulate and retrieve experience, but current methods treat each memory independently, i.e., evaluating retrieval quality in isolation without accounting for the dependency chains through which memories enable the creation of future memories. We introduce MemQ, which applies TD($λ$) eligibility traces to memory Q-values, propagating credit backward through a provenance DAG that records which memories were retrieved when each new memory was created. Credit weight decays as $(γλ)^d$ with DAG depth $d$, replacing temporal distance with structural proximity. We formalize the setting as an Exogenous-Context MDP, whose factored transition decouples the exogenous task stream from the endogenous memory store. Across six benchmarks, spanning OS interaction, function calling, code generation, multimodal reasoning, embodied reasoning, and expert-level QA, MemQ achieves the highest success rate on all six in generalization evaluation and runtime learning, with gains largest on multi-step tasks that produce deep and relevant provenance chains (up to +5.7~pp) and smallest on single-step classification (+0.77~pp) where single-step updates already suffice. We further study how $γ$ and $λ$ interact with the EC-MDP structure, providing principled guidance for parameter selection and future research. Code is available at https://github.com/jwliao-ai/MemQ.
