Rubrics as Rewards: Reinforcement Learning Beyond Verifiable Domains

ICLR 2026poster

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has proven effective for complex reasoning tasks with clear correctness signals such as math and coding. However, extending it to real-world reasoning tasks is challenging, as evaluation depends on nuanced, multi-criteria judgments rather than bi…

Planning in Natural Language Improves LLM Search for Code Generation

ICLR 2025spotlight

While scaling training compute has led to remarkable improvements in large language models (LLMs), scaling inference compute only recently began to yield analogous gains. We hypothesize that a core missing component is a lack of diverse LLM outputs, leading to inefficient search due to models repeat…

Learning Goal-Conditioned Representations for Language Reward Models

NeurIPS 2024poster

Techniques that learn improved representations via offline data or self-supervised objectives have shown impressive results in traditional reinforcement learning. Nevertheless, it is unclear how improved representation learning can benefit reinforcement learning from human feedback on language model…
