Coupled Variational Reinforcement Learning for Language Model General Reasoning

ICML 2026poster

While reinforcement learning has achieved impressive progress in language model reasoning, it is constrained by the requirement for verifiable rewards. Recent verifier-free RL methods address this limitation by utilizing the probabilities that LLMs generate reference answers as reward signals. Howev…

Tackling Length Inflation Without Trade-offs: Group Relative Reward Rescaling for Reinforcement Learning

ICML 2026poster

Reinforcement learning significantly enhances LLM capabilities but suffers from a critical issue: length inflation, where models adopt verbosity or inefficient reasoning to maximize rewards. Prior approaches struggle to address this challenge in a general and lossless manner, primarily because addit…

Cheems: A Practical Guidance for Building and Evaluating Chinese Reward Models from Scratch

ACL 2025long

Reward models (RMs) are crucial for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences. However, most RM research is centered on English and relies heavily on synthetic resources, which leads to limited and less reliable datasets and benchmarks for Chinese. To address this gap, we introduc…

Critic-CoT: Boosting the Reasoning Abilities of Large Language Model via Chain-of-Thought Critic

ACL 2025finding

Self-critic has become a crucial mechanism for enhancing the reasoning performance of LLMs. However, current approaches mainly involve basic prompts for intuitive instance-level feedback, which resembles System-1 processes and limits the reasoning capabilities. Moreover, there is a lack of in-depth…

On-Policy Self-Alignment with Fine-grained Knowledge Feedback for Hallucination Mitigation

ACL 2025finding

Hallucination occurs when large language models exhibit behavior that deviates from the boundaries of their knowledge during response generation. To address this critical issue, previous learning-based methods attempt to finetune models but are limited by off-policy sampling and coarse-grained feedb…

Rethinking Reward Model Evaluation: Are We Barking up the Wrong Tree?

ICLR 2025spotlight

Reward Models (RMs) are crucial for aligning language models with human preferences. Currently, the evaluation of RMs depends on measuring accuracy against a validation set of manually annotated preference data. Although this method is straightforward and widely adopted, the relationship between RM…

The Devil Is in the Details: Tackling Unimodal Spurious Correlations for Generalizable Multimodal Reward Models

ICML 2025poster

Multimodal Reward Models (MM-RMs) are crucial for aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) with human preferences, particularly as LLMs increasingly interact with multimodal data. However, we find that MM-RMs trained on existing datasets often struggle to generalize to out-of-distribution data due to t…

Semantic-focused Patch Tokenizer with Multi-branch Mixer for Visual Place Recognition

ICRA 2024poster

Visual Place Recognition (VPR) is critical for navigation and loop closure in autonomous driving tasks, mitigating the impact of shift errors caused by dynamic changes in the environment. Due to the limited ability of backbone networks and extreme environmental changes, current methods fail to captu…

Learning In-context Learning for Named Entity Recognition

ACL 2023long

Named entity recognition in real-world applications suffers from the diversity of entity types, the emergence of new entity types, and the lack of high-quality annotations. To address the above problems, this paper proposes an in-context learning-based NER approach, which can effectively inject in-c…

Universal Information Extraction as Unified Semantic Matching

AAAI 2023technical

The challenge of information extraction (IE) lies in the diversity of label schemas and the heterogeneity of structures. Traditional methods require task-specific model design and rely heavily on expensive supervision, making them difficult to generalize to new schemas. In this paper, we decouple IE…
