Reinforcement Learning with Robust Rubric Rewards 文章

arXiv:2605.30244v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) is effective for deterministically checkable tasks, many vision-language tasks are partially verifiable, demanding multi-criteria supervision (e.g., perceptual details, reasoning steps, and constraints). Rubrics provide a natural interface for this fine-grained supervision, but their effectiveness depends on the execution accuracy during online RL. We propose Reinforcement Learning with Robust Rubric Rewards ($\text{RLR}^3$), extending RLVR from task-level verification to criterion-level verification. $\text{RLR}^3$ routes instance-specific rubrics through two execution paths: an LLM-as-an-extractor paired with a deterministic verifier, or an LLM-as-a-Judge for non-verifiable criteria. To ensure faithful scoring, $\text{RLR}^3$ introduce a minimal exposure strategy that masks ground truths from extractors and images from judges.
