WebRL: Training LLM Web Agents via Self-Evolving Online Curriculum Reinforcement Learning
What this work does
Uses unsuccessful web attempts to generate new curriculum instructions, learns an outcome reward model and controls update drift while reusing trajectory data.
Connection to discovery
A data-collection pattern for training from failures while tracking environment feedback and task difficulty.
Evidence
WebArena-based evaluations compare learning strategies, model sizes and error types, including recovery and premature stopping.
Scope and limitations
A learned web-task reward model is not equivalent to a trustworthy scientific verifier. Generated tasks and policy drift need separate audits before applying the approach to discovery.
