解决大模型对齐中评分噪声导致策略优化不稳的问题。

The alignment of Large Language Models (LLMs) utilizes Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback (RLAIF) for non-verifiable domains such as long-form question answering and open-ended instruction following. These domains often rely on LLM based auto-raters to provide granular, multi-tier discrete rewards (e.g., 1-10 rubrics) that are inherently stochastic due to prompt sensitivity and sampling randomness. We empirically verify the stochasticity of auto-raters that can propagate and corrupt standard advantage estimators like GRPO and MaxRL, as a noisy reward samples can skew normalization statistics and degrade the global learning signal. Empirically, sampling more rewards and taking majority voting may reduce the noise and improve performance, but this approach is computationally expensive. To address this bottleneck, we introduce $\textbf{O}$rdinal $\textbf{D}$ecomposition for $\textbf{R}$obust $\textbf{P}$olicy $\textbf{O}$ptimization ($\textbf{ODRPO}$), a framework that structurally isolates evaluation noise by decomposing discrete rewards into a sequence of ordinal binary indicators. By independently computing and accumulating advantages across these progressively challenging success thresholds, ODRPO prevents outlier evaluations from corrupting the global update while establishing an implicit, variance-aware learning curriculum. Empirically, ODRPO achieves robust performance on Qwen2.5-7B and Qwen3-4B models, outperforming baselines with relative improvements of upto 14.8% on FACTS-grounding-v2 and 7.5% on Alpaca-Evals. Critically, these gains are achieved with negligible training-time overhead, as ODRPO requires no additional compute per step compared to standard estimators. Supported by theoretical analysis confirming its optimization stability, ODRPO provides a scalable and robust framework for aligning models within the noisy, discrete evaluation landscape of modern RLAIF.
