Training LLM Judges from Language Feedback via Position-Selective Self-Distillation

Ilgee Hong, Changlong Yu, Zhenghao Xu +5

We study training LLM judges from natural language feedback, especially for subjective tasks where the verdict depends strongly on which evaluation criteria the judge invokes and h…

Learning with Rare Success but Rich Feedback via Reflection-Enhanced Self-Distillation

Yuwei Zhang, Sha Li, Changlong Yu +9

Enabling Large Language Models (LLMs) to continuously improve from environmental interactions is a central challenge in post-training. While on-policy self-distillation offers a pr…

Alternating Reinforcement Learning for Rubric-Based Reward Modeling in Non-Verifiable LLM Post-Training

Ran Xu, Tianci Liu, Zihan Dong +6

Standard reward models typically predict scalar scores that fail to capture the multifaceted nature of response quality in non-verifiable domains, such as creative writing or open-…

Self-Rewarding PPO: Aligning Large Language Models with Demonstrations Only

Qingru Zhang, Liang Qiu, Ilgee Hong +11

Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) has emerged as a crucial method for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human-annotated demonstrations. However, SFT, being an off-policy approa…

Ask a Strong LLM Judge when Your Reward Model is Uncertain

Zhenghao Xu, Qin Lu, Qingru Zhang +9

Reward model (RM) plays a pivotal role in reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) for aligning large language models (LLMs). However, classical RMs trained on human prefe…

OpenRubrics: Towards Scalable Synthetic Rubric Generation for Reward Modeling and LLM Alignment

Tianci Liu, Ran Xu, Tony Yu +4

Reward modeling lies at the core of reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), yet most existing reward models rely on scalar or pairwise judgments that fail to capture the…

Think-RM: Enabling Long-Horizon Reasoning in Generative Reward Models

Ilgee Hong, Changlong Yu, Liang Qiu +8

Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) has become a powerful post-training paradigm for aligning large language models with human preferences. A core challenge in RLHF i…

Discriminative Finetuning of Generative Large Language Models without Reward Models and Human Preference Data

Siqi Guo, Ilgee Hong, Vicente Balmaseda +6

Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) has become a crucial step for aligning pretrained large language models (LLMs) using supervised datasets of input-output pairs. However, despite being…
