大模型通过自我评分实现无需外部奖励的强化学习,自动生成题目并自我改进。
RLSR: Reinforcement Learning from Self Reward
- 用大模型自己判断解题对错,替代人工设计奖励信号。
- 在积分题和计数谜题上表现接近有标准答案时的水平。
- 适合无标准答案、难做奖励设计的复杂领域,如数学竞赛训练。
大型语言模型可生成复杂问题的解法,但传统强化学习需可验证奖励,成本高且不适用于所有领域。本文证明,模型可通过自我评判实现有效自提升,利用生成与验证能力的不对称性。实验显示,即使无真实答案,模型仍能提供可靠奖励信号,使强化学习在以往不可行的领域成为可能。在计数谜题和积分问题中,仅使用自评奖励训练的Qwen 2.5 7B DeepSeek Distilled模型已具备参加麻省理工学院积分大赛的水平。结合自动生成题目,形成‘生成-求解-自评’闭环,完全无需外部验证。结果表明,大模型可作为有效奖励源,推动无监督自适应学习,为缺乏数据或评估困难的领域带来突破,是迈向自主进化的关键一步。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large language models can generate solutions to complex problems, but training them with reinforcement learning typically requires verifiable rewards that are expensive to create and not possible for all domains. We demonstrate that LLMs can effectively self-improve through self-judging without reference solutions, leveraging the inherent asymmetry between generating and verifying solutions. Our experiments show that models can provide reliable reward signals without ground truth answers, enabling reinforcement learning in domains where verifiable rewards are impractical. By implementing self-judging across Countdown puzzles and integration problems, we achieve performance comparable to formal verification without ground truth solutions. Most notably, Qwen 2.5 7B DeepSeek Distilled trained with self-rewards qualifies for the prestigious MIT Integration Bee competition, performance through self-supervised improvement. When combined with synthetic question generation, we establish a complete self-improvement loop where models generate practice problems, solve them, and evaluate their own performance without any external validation. Our findings demonstrate that LLM judges can provide effective reward signals for training, unlocking reinforcement learning in countless domains previously limited by reward engineering challenges. This work represents a significant step toward autonomous AI systems that continuously improve through self-directed learning rather than human-guided training, potentially accelerating progress across domains where training data is scarce or evaluation is complex.
