From Verifiable Dot to Reward Chain: Harnessing Verifiable Reference-based Rewards for Reinforcement Learning of Open-ended Generation

  • 从单一答案验证升级为多阶段语言信号链,分内容与风格两维度评估
  • 在10+基准上表现超越十倍数据量的SFT和先进奖励模型
  • 适合需要高质量、多样化生成的开放任务,如创作与对话

基于可验证奖励的强化学习(RLVR)在数学与代码等推理任务中成功通过最终答案的可验证性进行评估。但将其扩展至开放生成任务面临挑战,因缺乏明确的真值。依赖单一验证点易导致效率低下与奖励欺骗。为此,本文提出基于可验证参考的强化学习(RLVRR),不再仅检查最终答案,而是从高质量参考中提取有序的语言信号(即奖励链)。RLVRR将奖励分解为两个维度:内容维度保留确定性的核心概念(如关键词),风格维度通过大模型验证来评估风格一致性。该方法结合了强化学习的探索能力与监督微调的高效可靠。在超过10个基准上使用Qwen与Llama模型的实验表明,RLVRR显著优于训练数据量为十倍的SFT及先进奖励模型,统一了结构化推理与开放生成的训练,并在保持输出多样性的同时具备更强泛化能力。结果确立了其作为通用大模型对齐的可验证强化学习路径。代码与数据已开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) succeeds in reasoning tasks (e.g., math and code) by checking the final verifiable answer (i.e., a verifiable dot signal). However, extending this paradigm to open-ended generation is challenging because there is no unambiguous ground truth. Relying on single-dot supervision often leads to inefficiency and reward hacking. To address these issues, we propose reinforcement learning with verifiable reference-based rewards (RLVRR). Instead of checking the final answer, RLVRR extracts an ordered linguistic signal from high-quality references (i.e, reward chain). Specifically, RLVRR decomposes rewards into two dimensions: content, which preserves deterministic core concepts (e.g., keywords), and style, which evaluates adherence to stylistic properties through LLM-based verification. In this way, RLVRR combines the exploratory strength of RL with the efficiency and reliability of supervised fine-tuning (SFT). Extensive experiments on more than 10 benchmarks with Qwen and Llama models confirm the advantages of our approach. RLVRR (1) substantially outperforms SFT trained with ten times more data and advanced reward models, (2) unifies the training of structured reasoning and open-ended generation, and (3) generalizes more effectively while preserving output diversity. These results establish RLVRR as a principled and efficient path toward verifiable reinforcement learning for general-purpose LLM alignment. We release our code and data at https://github.com/YJiangcm/RLVRR.
