动态调整奖励权重,让多目标强化学习更稳定高效。

DVAO: Dynamic Variance-adaptive Advantage Optimization for Multi-reward Reinforcement Learning

  • 根据每项奖励的方差动态调整组合权重,增强有效信号。
  • 实验显示在数学推理和工具使用任务上显著优于基线方法。
  • 适合需要多目标平衡的智能体训练,如大模型对齐任务。

强化学习已成为对齐大型语言模型与人类意图及任务需求的标准范式。尽管群体相对策略优化提供了一种高效、无需价值模型的近端策略优化替代方案,但将其应用于真实世界的多奖励场景仍具挑战性。标准的标量处理方法,如奖励组合与优势组合,存在明显缺陷:奖励组合常产生平方幅度过大的优势值,导致训练不稳定;优势组合依赖静态超参数,忽略目标间的相关性。为此,我们提出动态方差自适应优势优化(DVAO),基于滚动组内各目标的经验奖励方差动态调整组合权重,有效提升学习信号强的目标权重,抑制噪声目标。我们从理论上证明了DVAO可保持优势值有界,确保训练稳定,并引入自适应交叉目标正则化机制。在Qwen3与Qwen2.5模型上的数学推理和工具使用基准测试中,实验结果表明DVAO显著优于基线方法,实现更优的多目标帕累托前沿与稳健的训练稳定性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reinforcement Learning has become a standard paradigm for aligning Large Language Models with human intent and task requirements. While Group Relative Policy Optimization offers an efficient, value-model-free alternative to Proximal Policy Optimization, adapting it to real-world multi-reward settings remains challenging. Standard scalarization practices, such as Reward Combination and Advantage Combination, suffer from significant drawbacks: Reward Combination frequently generates advantages with excessively large squared magnitudes that lead to training instability, while Advantage Combination relies on static hyperparameters and ignores cross-objective correlations. To address these limitations, we propose Dynamic Variance-adaptive Advantage Optimization (DVAO), which dynamically adjusts combination weights based on the empirical reward variance of each objective within a rollout group, effectively up-weighting objectives with a stronger learning signal while suppressing noisy ones. We mathematically prove that DVAO maintains bounded advantage magnitudes for stable training and introduces a self-adaptive cross-objective regularization mechanism. Extensive experiments on mathematical reasoning and tool-use benchmarks using Qwen3 and Qwen2.5 models demonstrate that DVAO significantly outperforms baseline methods, achieving a superior multi-objective Pareto frontier and robust training stability.
