Learning to Reason from Reference Samples Alone: Reinforced Adversarial Learning for Modern LLM Post-Training

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces Reinforced Adversarial Learning (RAL), a method that uses a co‑trained LLM judge to transform reference answers into a reward signal for on‑policy post‑training of reasoning LLMs. RAL is validated on three verifiable tasks—integer multiplication, code‑based arithmetic‑expression synthesis, and SMILES‑to‑formula translation—showing performance comparable to reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards. The approach is further applied to scientific abstract generation, producing abstracts that are harder to distinguish from real ones than those from frontier‑LLM baselines, demonstrating its potential for high‑value domains where explicit reward signals are hard to define.

SUPERNOVA: Eliciting General Reasoning in LLMs with Reinforcement Learning on Natural Instructions

arXiv:2604. 08477v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has substantially improved reasoning in formal domains such as mathematics and code, but extending these gains beyond STEM remains challenging.

Reinforcement Learning-based Semi-supervised Knowledge Distillation with LLM-as-a-Judge

arXiv:2604. 02621v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) substantially improves the reasoning capabilities of language models, but most existing RL fine-tuning approaches rely entirely on ground-truth verifiable rewards and thus labeled datasets with verifiable answers.
