Gradient Regularization Mitigates Reward Hacking in Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback and Verifiable Rewards

Johannes Ackermann, Michael Noukhovitch, Takashi Ishida +1

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) or Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) are two key steps in the post-training of modern Language Models (LMs). A common problem is reward ha…

CoffeeBench: Benchmarking Long-Horizon LLM Agents in Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Economies

Issa Sugiura, Daichi Hattori, Kazuo Araragi +5

As LLM agents become capable of increasingly long-horizon tasks, evaluating their performance in economic systems is becoming increasingly important. Unlike existing benchmarks tha…

Do Coding Agents Deceive Us? Detecting and Preventing Cheating via Capped Evaluation with Randomized Tests

Thanawat Lodkaew, Johannes Ackermann, Soichiro Nishimori +3

A growing failure mode in agent evaluation and training is that models can achieve high evaluation scores by exploiting shortcuts instead of solving the intended task, producing de…

CapBencher: Give Your LLM Benchmark a Built-in Alarm for Test-Set Overfitting

Takashi Ishida, Thanawat Lodkaew, Ikko Yamane

Publishing a large language model (LLM) benchmark (especially its ground-truth answers) on the Internet risks contaminating future LLMs and enabling evaluation gaming: it may be un…

Practical estimation of the optimal classification error with soft labels and calibration

Ryota Ushio, Takashi Ishida, Masashi Sugiyama

While the performance of machine learning systems has experienced significant improvement in recent years, relatively little attention has been paid to the fundamental question: to…

Unified Approach for Weakly Supervised Multicalibration

Futoshi Futami, Takashi Ishida

Multicalibration requires predicted scores to agree with label probabilities across rich families of subgroups and score-dependent tests, but existing methods require clean input-l…
