RLAC: Reinforcement Learning with Adversarial Critic for Free-Form Generation Tasks
- 用大模型当批评者,动态识别最可能的错误类型
- 实验显示文本事实准确率和代码正确率显著提升
- 适合需要高精度输出的自由生成场景
开放性生成任务需满足多样且常为隐式的特定评估标准。标准数量庞大导致验证成本过高,且对响应的评估不完整,使基于标准奖励的强化学习后训练难以扩展。这一问题在最佳标准组合方式高度依赖提示时尤为严重。我们提出强化学习对抗批评者(RLAC),一种通过动态标准验证解决上述挑战的后训练方法。该方法利用大语言模型(LLM)作为批评者,动态识别最可能的失败模式(如事实错误或未处理的边缘情况),再由外部验证器进行核实,从而联合优化生成器与批评者。通过联合训练生成器与批评者,该博弈提升了批评者的错误检测能力与生成器的输出质量,同时减少所需验证次数。实验表明,RLAC在文本生成中提升了事实准确性,在代码生成中提高了正确性,优于全量验证与奖励模型方法。我们证明动态批评者比固定批评者更有效,展示了RLAC在扩展强化学习后训练至自由生成任务中的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Open-ended generation tasks require outputs to satisfy diverse and often implicit task-specific evaluation rubrics. The sheer number of relevant rubrics leads to prohibitively high verification costs and incomplete assessments of a response, making reinforcement learning (RL) post-training with rubric-based rewards difficult to scale. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that often the best way to combine these rubrics into one single reward is also highly prompt-specific. We propose Reinforcement Learning with Adversarial Critic (RLAC), a post-training approach that addresses these challenges via dynamic rubric verification. Our approach employs a large language model (LLM) as a critic that dynamically identifies only the most likely failure modes (e.g., a factual error or unhandled edge case), which are then verified by an external validator to optimize both generator and critic jointly. By training both the generator and the critic, this game enhances the critic's error detection and the generator's output quality while reducing required verifications. Our experiments demonstrate that RLAC improves factual accuracy in text generation and correctness in code generation, while also outperforming exhaustive verification and reward model methods. We show that dynamic critics are more effective than fixed critics, showcasing the potential of RLAC for scaling RL post-training to free-form generation tasks.
