Coverage-Controlled Preference Mining from Noisy Claim Verification for Evidence-Grounded Generation

arXiv:2603. 10494v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Evidence-grounded generation produces summaries whose claims should be supported by supplied evidence, but claim-level verifiers provide noisy feedback and can reward models that simply say less.

Hallucination Detection-Guided Preference Optimization for Clinical Summarization

arXiv:2605. 28910v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise on summarization tasks, but they often produce hallucinations, which are unsupported or incorrect statements that limit their reliability in specialized healthcare applications.

Best-of-Evidence: Best-of-N Selection under Partial Verification

BoN improves model outputs by sampling several candidates and selecting one with a proxy score, but it assumes that complete candidates can be evaluated reliably. Many vision-language tasks instead provide only partial verification: a finding, span, value, region, or relation may be checkable even when no dependable whole-response verifier exists.

RLearner-LLM: Balancing Logical Grounding and Fluency in Large Language Models via Hybrid Direct Preference Optimization

arXiv:2605. 04539v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), the efficient alternative to PPO-based RLHF, falls short on knowledge-intensive generation: standard preference signals from human annotators or LLM judges exhibit a systematic verbosity bias that rewards fluency over logical correctness.
