奖励模型(RMs)是强化学习人类反馈(RLHF)流程中的关键组件,直接影响大语言模型(LLMs)的对齐质量。近年来,生成式奖励模型(GRMs)作为一种更优范式出现,相比传统标量奖励模型具备更强的可解释性与泛化能力。然而,现有GRMs方法主要依赖结果层面的监督,忽视了分析过程的质量,限制了其潜力。为此,我们提出ReflectRM,一种利用自省机制评估分析质量并增强偏好建模的新型GRM。ReflectRM在统一生成框架下联合建模响应偏好与分析偏好。推理时,通过自省能力识别最可靠的分析,据此得出最终偏好预测。在四个基准上的实验表明,ReflectRM性能持续提升,在Qwen3-4B上平均准确率提高3.7。进一步实验验证了响应偏好与分析偏好相互促进。值得注意的是,ReflectRM显著缓解了位置偏差,在对比领先GRMs时取得+10.2的改进,展现出更稳定的评估能力。代码已开源于https://github.com/yuliangCarmelo/ReflectRM。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reward Models (RMs) are critical components in the Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) pipeline, directly determining the alignment quality of Large Language Models (LLMs). Recently, Generative Reward Models (GRMs) have emerged as a superior paradigm, offering higher interpretability and stronger generalization than traditional scalar RMs. However, existing methods for GRMs focus primarily on outcome-level supervision, neglecting analytical process quality, which constrains their potential. To address this, we propose ReflectRM, a novel GRM that leverages self-reflection to assess analytical quality and enhance preference modeling. ReflectRM is trained under a unified generative framework for joint modeling of response preference and analysis preference. During inference, we use its self-reflection capability to identify the most reliable analysis, from which the final preference prediction is derived. Experiments across four benchmarks show that ReflectRM consistently improves performance, achieving an average accuracy gain of +3.7 on Qwen3-4B. Further experiments confirm that response preference and analysis preference are mutually reinforcing. Notably, ReflectRM substantially mitigates positional bias, yielding +10.2 improvement compared with leading GRMs and establishing itself as a more stable evaluator. Our code is available at https://github.com/yuliangCarmelo/ReflectRM.
