  • 用双重前向传播避免退化图像上的奖励污染。
  • 在7个基准上对可见与不可见退化分别提升2.4%和2.3%。
  • 适合需要鲁棒视觉推理的工业级多模态应用。

强化学习显著提升了多模态大语言模型(MLLM)的推理能力,但其策略在真实世界视觉退化(如模糊、压缩伪影、低分辨率扫描)下仍显脆弱。现有鲁棒性技术依赖静态数据增强或基于值的正则化,难以适配无评论器强化学习微调中的自回归MLLM。直接在推演中注入退化视图会导致奖励污染,引发幻觉轨迹并破坏优化。我们提出ROMA框架,通过双前向传播策略,利用教师强制评估退化视图与干净图像轨迹的一致性,避免在退化输入上重新推演。为保证分布一致性,采用基于最坏情况增强的词元级代理KL惩罚;为防止策略坍塌,引入锚定于干净图像优势的辅助策略梯度损失以维持可靠奖励信号;为避免系统性错误不变性,采用正确性条件正则化,仅在成功轨迹上施加约束。在Qwen3-VL 4B/8B上,该方法在7个多模态推理基准上,相较GRPO在已见退化上提升2.4%,未见退化上提升2.3%,同时保持原始清洁输入准确率。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reinforcement Learning has significantly advanced the reasoning capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), yet the resulting policies remain brittle against real-world visual degradations such as blur, compression artifacts, and low-resolution scans. Prior robustness techniques from vision and deep RL rely on static data augmentation or value-based regularization, neither of which transfers cleanly to critic-free RL fine-tuning of autoregressive MLLMs. Reinforcing reasoning against such corruptions is non-trivial: naively injecting degraded views during rollout induces reward poisoning, where perceptual occlusions trigger hallucinated trajectories and destabilize optimization. We propose ROMA, an RL fine-tuning framework that modifies the optimization dynamics to reinforce reasoning against visual degradation while preserving clean-input performance. A dual-forward-pass strategy uses teacher forcing to evaluate corrupted views against clean-image trajectories, avoiding new rollouts on degraded inputs. For distributional consistency, we apply a token-level surrogate KL penalty against the worst-case augmentation; to prevent policy collapse under regularization, an auxiliary policy gradient loss anchored to clean-image advantages preserves a reliable reward signal; and to avoid systematically incorrect invariance, correctness-conditioned regularization restricts enforcement to successful trajectories. On Qwen3-VL 4B/8B across seven multimodal reasoning benchmarks, our method improves robustness by +2.4% on seen and +2.3% on unseen corruptions over GRPO while matching clean accuracy.
