AutoRubric-T2I learns and selects explicit rubrics from preference pairs to guide VLM judges, producing high-quality interpretable rewards for T2I alignment with far less data than traditional Bradley-Terry models.
Think-with-Rubrics has LLMs generate rubrics internally before responding, outperforming external rubric-as-reward baselines by 3.87 points on average across benchmarks.
rDPO uses offline-built rubrics to generate on-policy preference data for DPO, raising benchmark scores in visual tasks over outcome-based filtering and style baselines.
A cross-evaluation setup with native-speaker SME rubrics benchmarks LLMs on underrepresented Arabic dialects and quantifies automated judge bias and cultural-reasoning gaps.
Training-free dynamic rubric generation and meta-judge fine-tuning for LLM evaluation that matches or exceeds baselines on four benchmarks, with a 14B model outperforming larger proprietary systems.
POW3R adapts rubric criterion weights via rollout contrast in RLVR to improve mean reward, strict completion rates, and training speed over static rubric aggregation on multimodal and text tasks.
Rubric-based RL verifiers can be gamed via partial criterion satisfaction and implicit-to-explicit tricks, yielding proxy gains that do not improve quality under rubric-free judges; stronger verifiers reduce but do not eliminate the mismatch.
RLR³ extends RLVR to criterion-level rubric verification via dual execution paths, minimal exposure masking, hierarchical aggregation, and saturation mitigation, delivering 4.7-point gains over base on 15 benchmarks with Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B.
The paper introduces the Proxy Compression Hypothesis as a unifying framework explaining reward hacking in RLHF as an emergent result of compressing high-dimensional human objectives into proxy reward signals under optimization pressure.
Proxy RL produces a staged proxy-internalization capability that emerges before and predicts reward hacking in coding environments.
