动态调整奖励裁剪策略,提升大模型推理强化学习效果

DCPO: Dynamic Clipping Policy Optimization

  • 根据词元先验概率动态调整裁剪边界,增强逐词探索
  • 在AIME24上达46.7(贪心)和38.8(采样32次)的最优表现
  • 相比传统方法减少90%以上裁剪比例,训练效率翻倍

基于可验证奖励的强化学习(RLVR)是提升大语言模型推理能力的有前景框架。现有方法如GRPO常因固定裁剪边界和相同奖励标准化导致梯度为零,影响更新效果。本文提出动态裁剪策略优化(DCPO),通过基于词元先验概率自适应调整裁剪边界,增强词级探索;并引入平滑优势标准化技术,在累积训练步骤中标准化奖励,提升响应级生成内容的有效利用。DCPO在四个不同模型上的四个基准测试中均达到领先性能。尤其在基于Qwen2.5-Math-7B的AIME24基准上,贪心解码下平均得分46.7,采样32次下达38.8,优于DAPO(36.7/31.6)、GRPO(36.7/32.1)和GSPO(40.0/34.9)。在基于Qwen2.5-14B的AIME25上,成绩为23.3/19.0,超越GRPO(13.3/10.5)、DAPO(20.0/15.3)和GSPO(16.7/9.9)。此外,DCPO在四模型上平均非零优势提升28%,训练效率是DAPO的两倍,词元裁剪比例相较GRPO和DAPO降低一个数量级,同时保持更优性能。结果表明,DCPO能更高效地利用生成数据进行大模型强化学习。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a promising framework for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models. However, existing approaches such as GRPO often suffer from zero gradients. This problem arises primarily due to fixed clipping bounds for token-level probability ratios and the standardization of identical rewards, which can lead to ineffective gradient updates and underutilization of generated responses. In this work, we propose Dynamic Clipping Policy Optimization(DCPO), which introduces a dynamic clipping strategy that adaptively adjusts clipping bounds based on token-specific prior probabilities to enhance token-level exploration, and a smooth advantage standardization technique that standardizes rewards across cumulative training steps to improve the response-level effective utilization of generated responses. DCPO achieved state-of-the-art performance on four benchmarks based on four different models. In particular, DCPO achieved an Avg@1 of 46.7 under greedy decoding and an Avg@32 of 38.8 under 32 times sampling on the AIME24 benchmark, surpassing DAPO (36.7/31.6), GRPO (36.7/32.1) and GSPO (40.0/34.9) on the Qwen2.5-Math-7B model. On the AIME25 benchmark based on Qwen2.5-14B, DCPO achieves a performance of (23.3/19.0), surpassing GRPO (13.3/10.5), DAPO (20.0/15.3) and GSPO (16.7/9.9). Furthermore, DCPO achieved an average 28% improvement in the nonzero advantage over GRPO in four models, doubled the training efficiency over DAPO, and significantly reduced the token clipping ratio by an order of magnitude compared to both GRPO and DAPO, while achieving superior performance. These results highlight DCPO's effectiveness in leveraging generated data more efficiently for reinforcement learning in large language models.
