分阶段引入正负信号,提升大模型跨域推理能力
From Imitation to Discrimination: Toward A Generalized Curriculum Advantage Mechanism Enhancing Cross-Domain Reasoning Tasks
- 先用正向优势样本做模仿学习打基础
- 再逐步加入负向信号增强判别力
- 适配多种优化方法,数学与GUI任务都有效
强化学习已成为大语言模型后训练的主流范式,通过为每个样本计算优势值来反映其表现优劣,从而提供正负双向训练信号。然而,现有方法在早期即混合使用正负信号,可能导致指导模糊、增益有限。为此,我们提出CAPO(课程优势策略优化)——一种基于优势信号的自适应课程机制。该机制首先利用仅含正向优势的样本进行模仿学习,建立稳健基础;随后逐步引入负向信号,培养模型的判别能力,从而提升复杂场景下的泛化性能。本方法兼容GRPO、PPO、RLOO和Reinforce++等多种优化方式,在数学推理任务中持续实现稳定且显著的性能提升,并有效扩展至多模态图形用户界面(GUI)推理场景,展现出强大的通用性与鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Reinforcement learning has emerged as a paradigm for post-training large language models, boosting their reasoning capabilities. Such approaches compute an advantage value for each sample, reflecting better or worse performance than expected, thereby yielding both positive and negative signals for training. However, the indiscriminate mixing of the two signals in existing methods, especially from the early stages, may lead to ambiguous guidance and limited gains. To address this issue, we propose **CAPO** (**C**urriculum **A**dvantage **P**olicy **O**ptimization), an adaptive curriculum mechanism based on advantage signals. The proposed mechanism bootstraps imitation learning with positive-only advantage samples to establish robust foundations, and subsequently introduces negative signals to cultivate discriminative capabilities, thereby improving generalization across complex scenarios. Compatible with diverse optimization methods including GRPO, PPO, RLOO, and Reinforce++, our method consistently achieves stable and significant improvements in mathematical reasoning tasks, and further generalizes effectively to multimodal Graphical User Interface (GUI) reasoning scenarios, establishing itself as a versatile and robust optimization framework.
