Reinforced Self-Training (ReST) for Language Modeling

Reinforced Self-Training (ReST): a faster way to better machine translation

This new idea asks a language program to teach itself, using its own examples to get better, not waiting for people to guide it every step.
Called Reinforced Self-Training, the method has the model make lots of sentences, then learns from that collection later, so the same examples can be used again and again.
Because training happens with stored examples, not live feedback, it relies on offline data which saves time and compute, and lets teams reuse the work.
On translation tests the approach made noticeably better translations, both by automatic checks and by people reading the output, and it did this without huge extra cost.
The trick is simple: generate, collect, and learn — repeat.
That simplicity makes the method efficient and practical for real projects, even when resources are limited.
This doesn't replace human judgement, but it helps models align with what people prefer faster than older methods, so your next translation might be clearer, sooner than you expect, even if the model learned mostly from its own drafts.
