摘要
逐點獎勵建模為大型語言模型(LLM)的後訓練提供了關鍵信號,但在主觀、不可驗證的場景中難以進行絕對評分。基於評分標準的方法透過將評估分解為明確的標準來解決此問題,但現有方法通常依賴前沿大型語言模型,並因硬性布林聚合而產生平手問題。我們提出 RUBRIC-ARROW,一種交替框架,聯合訓練評分標準生成器與條件於評分標準的評判模型,其強化學習階段僅使用成對偏好數據。我們的方法結合了減少平手的概率型評分規則,以及階段特定的基於偏好的獎勵與交替 GRPO 方案,共同訓練逐點評估器。大量實驗顯示,RUBRIC-ARROW 在獎勵建模準確度上達到競爭力,並為下游策略後訓練帶來一致的增益。

Pointwise reward modeling offers critical signals for LLM post-training, yet struggles with absolute scoring in subjective, non-verifiable settings. Rubric-based methods address this by decomposing evaluation into explicit criteria, but existing approaches typically depend on frontier LLMs and suffer from ties caused by hard Boolean aggregation. We present RUBRIC-ARROW, an alternating framework that jointly trains a rubric generator and a rubric-conditioned judge, with its RL stage using only pairwise preference data. Our method couples a probability-based scoring rule that reduces ties with phase-specific preference-based rewards and an alternating GRPO scheme that together train the pointwise evaluator. Extensive experiments show that RUBRIC-ARROW achieves competitive reward-modeling accuracy and yields consistent gains for downstream policy post-training.
