用三维评估提升大模型推理能力,不依赖正确答案也能有效训练。

From <Answer> to <Think>: Multidimensional Supervision of Reasoning Process for LLM Optimization

  • 从答案监督转向三维度过程评估:可信度、相关性、连贯性。
  • 在数学、编程等任务上,模型推理准确率显著提升,跨领域泛化更强。
  • 无需真实答案即可评估,适合缺乏标注的复杂推理场景。

提升大语言模型(LLMs)的多步推理能力是关键但具挑战性的任务。主流方法基于最终答案的强化学习(RLVR)仅奖励正确结果,常传播错误推理且奖励信号稀疏。虽有过程级奖励模型(PRMs)提供更密集反馈,但其泛化性和可解释性差,需针对具体任务分割推理过程。为此,我们提出维度级奖励模型(DRM),一种新监督框架,融合两种方法优势。DRM沿三个基础、互补且可解释的维度评估推理质量:可信度(用于不确定性校准)、相关性(语义对齐)、连贯性(逻辑一致性)。这些维度捕捉答案正确性之外的特征,支持无真实答案的可解释评估。实验表明,DRM提供有效监督信号,引导模型优化并增强推理能力。尤其在分布内与分布外的开放域任务(包括数学、问答、代码执行、谜题)中均实现稳定提升。研究证明,多维度推理过程监督可提升模型在训练分布外的泛化推理能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Improving the multi-step reasoning ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) is a critical yet challenging task. The dominant paradigm, outcome-supervised reinforcement learning (RLVR), rewards only correct final answers, often propagating flawed reasoning and suffering from sparse reward signals. While process-level reward models (PRMs) provide denser, step-by-step feedback, they lack generalizability and interpretability, requiring task-specific segmentation of the reasoning process. To this end, we propose the Dimension-level Reward Model (DRM), a new supervision framework that bridges the gap between these two approaches. DRM evaluates the quality of a reasoning process along three fundamental, complementary, and interpretable dimensions: Confidence for uncertainty calibration, Relevance for semantic alignment, and Coherence for logical consistency. Together, these dimensions capture aspects beyond final answer correctness and enable interpretable assessment without requiring ground truth answers. Experimental results show that DRM provides effective supervision signals, guides the optimization of LLMs and enhances their reasoning ability. In particular, DRM-supervised training achieves consistent gains on both in-distribution and out-of-distribution open-domain tasks, including mathematics, question answering, code execution, and puzzles. Our findings demonstrate that multidimensional supervision of the reasoning process can improve the generalized reasoning ability of LLMs beyond the training distribution.
