arXiv:2608. 10812v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study reference-free post-training for multilingual machine translation with open large language models.
Consensus Group Relative Policy Optimization (C‑GRPO) is a new training method that distills Minimum Bayes Risk (MBR) decoding into a group‑relative objective, enabling text generation models to approximate MBR performance without the costly inference‑time sampling and scoring. C‑GRPO only needs a utility function and policy samples, avoiding the need for gold references or curated preference data. Experiments on WMT 2024 machine translation and XSum summarization show that C‑GRPO matches MBR decoding quality while reducing inference overhead and outperforming other reference‑free baselines.
R3 is a new reward modeling framework that addresses limitations in current reward models by being rubric‑agnostic and generalizable across multiple evaluation dimensions. It provides interpretable, reasoned score assignments rather than opaque scalar outputs, enhancing transparency and flexibility in evaluating language models. The authors release their models, data, and code openly at https://github.com/rubricreward/r3.

arXiv:2606. 04807v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mitigating social bias in Large Language Models (LLMs) presents a distinct alignment challenge: unlike verifiable tasks, bias lacks a single ground truth, creating a high-variance, subjective reward landscape.
Mitigating social bias in Large Language Models (LLMs) presents a distinct alignment challenge: unlike verifiable tasks, bias lacks a single ground truth, creating a high-variance, subjective reward landscape. Previous preference-based fine-tuning methods have major trade-offs: Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) is limited by the lack of exploration inherent in offline training, while Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) can lead to training instability due to potentially unreliable critic estimates.
