VRPRM: Process Reward Modeling via Visual Reasoning

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2508. 03556v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Process Reward Model (PRM) is widely used in the post-training of Large Language Model (LLM) because it can perform fine-grained evaluation of the reasoning steps of generated content.
