提出新方法提升大模型多轮推理的反馈精准度

TCPO: Turn-Level Credit Policy Optimization

  • 通过对比参考状态评估每轮改进程度,实现更精确的信用分配
  • 在数学推理、代码生成等任务上显著减少达成目标所需轮次
  • 适合需要精细反馈优化的多轮智能体与大模型推理系统

验证器引导的强化学习已成为提升大模型推理能力的有效范式。在多轮场景中,模型每轮输出后获得验证器评分并迭代优化。尽管评分提供密集反馈,却未直接给出密集信用:评分反映当前输出质量,而信用应衡量本轮对优化轨迹的贡献。本文提出TCPO,一种基于验证器的多轮强化学习中的轮级信用分配方法。TCPO将信用分配建模为评分到信用的转换,通过参考基准比较构建轮级优势:回溯信用捕捉相对于最优历史状态的即时进展与退步;事后延迟信用识别后期产生回报的非进步轮次;选择性固定历史反事实估计则在相同历史下细化高意外性轮次。在数学推理、代码生成和AppWorld智能体任务上的实验表明,TCPO在不同模型规模、任务领域和验证器类型下均优于或匹配最强基线。TCPO在Qwen3-4B和DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B上取得最佳或并列最佳的best-turn Pass@8表现,减少成功所需的轮次,提升多轮智能体性能。结果凸显评分到信用转换是验证器引导多轮策略优化的核心要素。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Verifier-guided reinforcement learning has become a powerful paradigm for improving LLM reasoning. In multi-turn settings, models receive a verifier score after each turn and iteratively refine their outputs. Although such scores provide dense feedback, they do not directly provide dense credit: a score measures the quality of the current output, while credit should measure how the current turn changes the refinement trajectory. We propose TCPO, a turn-level credit assignment method for verifier-guided multi-turn RL. TCPO casts credit assignment as score-to-credit conversion and constructs turn-level advantages through reference-based comparisons: retrospective credit captures immediate progress and regression relative to the best prior state; hindsight delayed credit identifies non-improving turns with later payoff; and selective fixed-history counterfactual estimation refines high-surprisal turns under the same history. Experiments on math reasoning, code generation, and AppWorld agent tasks show that TCPO improves or matches the strongest baselines across model scales, task domains, and verifier types. TCPO achieves the best or tied-best best-turn Pass@8 on Qwen3-4B and DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B, reduces turns to success, and improves multi-turn agent performance. These results highlight score-to-credit conversion as a central ingredient for verifier-guided multi-turn policy optimization.
