验证并扩展了抗奖励欺骗的MONA方法，发现学习型审批机制可零作弊但效率更低。
Extending MONA in Camera Dropbox: Reproduction, Learned Approval, and Design Implications for Reward-Hacking Mitigation
- 重构代码为标准项目，实现可复现的强化学习训练流程
- 学习型审批模型实现0%奖励作弊，但目标行为成功率仅11.9%（原版为99.9%）
- 揭示审批机制设计是防止奖励欺骗的关键，适合安全强化学习研究者
目光短浅优化与非目光短浅审批（MONA）通过限制智能体规划范围并提供远见审批信号，缓解多步奖励欺骗问题。原始论文提出关键开放问题：审批构建方式——特别是审批对实际成果的依赖程度——如何影响MONA的安全性保障。我们对公开的MONA相机云盘环境进行复现扩展，(i) 将发布代码重构为标准Python项目并包含脚本化PPO训练，(ii) 使用发布参考数组确认普通强化学习（91.5%作弊率）与理想MONA（0.0%作弊率）之间的对比，(iii) 引入模块化学习型审批套件，涵盖理想、噪声、误设、学习及校准审批机制。在小规模预算的初步测试中，最佳校准学习监督者运行实现了0%观察到的奖励作弊，但目标行为成功率显著低于理想MONA（11.9% vs. 99.9%），符合欠优化而非重新出现作弊现象。这些结果将MONA论文的审批谱猜想转化为可运行实验对象，表明核心工程挑战从验证概念转向构建能保留足够远见又不重开奖励作弊通道的学习审批模型。代码、配置与复现命令均已公开。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Myopic Optimization with Non-myopic Approval (MONA) mitigates multi-step reward hacking by restricting the agent's planning horizon while supplying far-sighted approval as a training signal~\cite{farquhar2025mona}. The original paper identifies a critical open question: how the method of constructing approval -- particularly the degree to which approval depends on achieved outcomes -- affects whether MONA's safety guarantees hold. We present a reproduction-first extension of the public MONA Camera Dropbox environment that (i)~repackages the released codebase as a standard Python project with scripted PPO training, (ii)~confirms the published contrast between ordinary RL (91.5\% reward-hacking rate) and oracle MONA (0.0\% hacking rate) using the released reference arrays, and (iii)~introduces a modular learned-approval suite spanning oracle, noisy, misspecified, learned, and calibrated approval mechanisms. In reduced-budget pilot sweeps across approval methods, horizons, dataset sizes, and calibration strategies, the best calibrated learned-overseer run achieves zero observed reward hacking but substantially lower intended-behavior rates than oracle MONA (11.9\% vs.\ 99.9\%), consistent with under-optimization rather than re-emergent hacking. These results operationalize the MONA paper's approval-spectrum conjecture as a runnable experimental object and suggest that the central engineering challenge shifts from proving MONA's concept to building learned approval models that preserve sufficient foresight without reopening reward-hacking channels. Code, configurations, and reproduction commands are publicly available. https://github.com/codernate92/mona-camera-dropbox-repro
