Critique-RL: Training Language Models for Critiquing through Two-Stage Reinforcement Learning

  • 分两阶段优化:先提升评判定力,再增强反馈帮助性。
  • 在域内任务上使Qwen2.5-7B性能提升9.02%,域外提升5.70%。

训练用于评估并提供反馈的批判性语言模型,是提升大模型在复杂推理任务中表现的可行路径。然而,现有方法通常依赖更强的监督者标注批判数据。为此,我们提出Critique-RL,一种无需强监督的在线强化学习方法。该方法基于双角色机制:演员生成回答,批评家提供反馈,演员据此改进。实验发现,仅依赖演员输出的间接奖励信号会导致批评家虽有帮助性但判别力差,性能提升有限。为此,Critique-RL采用两阶段策略:第一阶段使用直接规则奖励强化批评家判别力;第二阶段引入基于演员改进的间接奖励以提升帮助性,同时通过正则化保持判别力。大量实验表明,该方法显著提升性能,例如在域内任务上使Qwen2.5-7B提升9.02%,域外任务提升5.70%,展现出巨大潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Training critiquing language models to assess and provide feedback on model outputs is a promising way to improve LLMs for complex reasoning tasks. However, existing approaches typically rely on stronger supervisors for annotating critique data. To address this, we propose Critique-RL, an online RL approach for developing critiquing language models without stronger supervision. Our approach operates on a two-player paradigm: the actor generates a response, the critic provides feedback, and the actor refines the response accordingly. We first reveal that relying solely on indirect reward signals from the actor's outputs for RL optimization often leads to unsatisfactory critics: while their helpfulness (i.e., providing constructive feedback) improves, the discriminability (i.e., determining whether a response is high-quality or not) remains poor, resulting in marginal performance gains. To overcome this, Critique-RL adopts a two-stage optimization strategy. In stage I, it reinforces the discriminability of the critic with direct rule-based reward signals; in stage II, it introduces indirect rewards based on actor refinement to improve the critic's helpfulness, while maintaining its discriminability via appropriate regularization. Extensive experiments across various tasks and models show that Critique-RL delivers substantial performance improvements. For example, it achieves a 9.02% gain on in-domain tasks and a 5.70% gain on out-of-domain tasks for Qwen2.5-7B, highlighting its potential.
