International Economics and Trade

The Bachelor's degree program in International Economics and Trade at Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) is built upon previous majors in Industrial Foreign Trade and International Trade. Established in 1988 and 1996 respectively, these programs merged in 1999 to form the current International Economics and Trade major. The program is designed to meet national economic needs and social development, equipping students with a systematic understanding of economic principles and international trade theories. Graduates will be familiar with global trade rules, possess strong English language skills for foreign trade work, and develop an international perspective, effective communication abilities, and an innovative spirit.

LLM-Guided Reinforcement Learning for Interactive Environments

This research introduces LLM-Guided Reinforcement Learning (LGRL), a novel framework designed to enhance learning in interactive environments. LGRL utilizes large language models (LLMs) to break down complex, high-level objectives into a series of manageable subgoals. This approach separates the high-level planning process from the low-level execution of actions. During the training phase, the LLM dynamically generates context-aware subgoals. These subgoals are accompanied by partial rewards, offering continuous feedback to the reinforcement learning agent. This fine-grained feedback system is crucial for encouraging structured exploration and speeding up the learning convergence process. For real-time application (inference), LGRL employs a chain-of-thought strategy, allowing the LLM to adaptively adjust subgoals based on the current state of the environment. While initially demonstrated in a specific interactive setting, the LGRL method is designed to be generalizable across a broad spectrum of goal-oriented tasks. Experimental evaluations have indicated that LGRL outperforms existing baseline approaches, achieving superior success rates, greater efficiency, and faster convergence.
