MSRL: Scaling Generative Multimodal Reward Modeling via Multi-Stage Reinforcement Learning

CVPR 2026

Recent advances in multimodal reward modeling have been largely driven by a paradigm shift from discriminative to generative approaches. Building on this progress, recent studies have further employed reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) to enhance multimodal reward models (MRMs). D

Probing Preference Representations: A Multi-Dimensional Evaluation and Analysis Method for Reward Models

AAAI 2026technical

Previous methods evaluate reward models by testing them on a fixed pairwise ranking test set, but they typically do not provide performance information on each preference dimension. In this work, we address the evaluation challenge of reward models by probing preference representations. To confirm t

GRAM: A Generative Foundation Reward Model for Reward Generalization

ICML 2025poster

In aligning large language models (LLMs), reward models have played an important role, but are standardly trained as discriminative models and rely only on labeled human preference data. In this paper, we explore methods that train reward models using both unlabeled and labeled data. Building on t…

MRO: Enhancing Reasoning in Diffusion Language Models via Multi-Reward Optimization

NeurIPS 2025poster

Recent advances in diffusion language models (DLMs) have presented a promising alternative to traditional autoregressive large language models (LLMs). However, DLMs still lag behind LLMs in reasoning performance, especially as the number of denoising steps decreases. Our analysis reveals that this s…

RoVRM: A Robust Visual Reward Model Optimized via Auxiliary Textual Preference Data

AAAI 2025technical

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) often fail to align with human preferences, leading to issues like generating misleading content without proper visual context (also known as hallucination). A promising solution to this problem is using human-preference alignment techniques, such as best-of-n sa…
