R3: Robust Rubric-Agnostic Reward Models

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.

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.

To Reason or to Fabricate: Reasoning Without Shortcuts via Hint-Anchored Pairwise Aggregation

arXiv:2606. 29481v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While reinforcement learning (RL) significantly enhances LLM reasoning, its efficacy is severely undermined by Pre-RL data overlap, where RL datasets overlap with pretraining or SFT corpora, causing models to exploit shortcuts by memorizing correct answers and fabricating post-hoc reasoning.
