Can reinforcement learning for LLMs scale beyond math and coding tasks? Probably

arxiv.org/abs/2503.23829

arXiv.orgCrossing the Reward Bridge: Expanding RL with Verifiable Rewards Across Diverse DomainsReinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has demonstrated significant success in enhancing mathematical reasoning and coding performance of large language models (LLMs), especially when structured reference answers are accessible for verification. However, its extension to broader, less structured domains remains unexplored. In this work, we investigate the effectiveness and scalability of RLVR across diverse real-world domains including medicine, chemistry, psychology, economics, and education, where structured reference answers are typically unavailable. We reveal that binary verification judgments on broad-domain tasks exhibit high consistency across various LLMs provided expert-written reference answers exist. Motivated by this finding, we utilize a generative scoring technique that yields soft, model-based reward signals to overcome limitations posed by binary verifications, especially in free-form, unstructured answer scenarios. We further demonstrate the feasibility of training cross-domain generative reward models using relatively small (7B) LLMs without the need for extensive domain-specific annotation. Through comprehensive experiments, our RLVR framework establishes clear performance gains, significantly outperforming state-of-the-art open-source aligned models such as Qwen2.5-72B and DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B across domains in free-form settings. Our approach notably enhances the robustness, flexibility, and scalability of RLVR, representing a substantial step towards practical reinforcement learning applications in complex, noisy-label scenarios.

Happy birthday to Cognitive Design for Artificial Minds (lnkd.in/gZtzwDn3) that was released 4 years ago!

Since then its ideas have been presented and discussed widely in the research fields of AI/Cognitive Science/Robotics and - nowadays - both the possibilities and the limitations of: #LLMs, #GenerativeAI and #ReinforcementLearning (already envisioned and discussed in the book) have become a common topic of research interests in the AI community and beyond.
Similarly also the topic concerning the evaluation - in human-like and human-level terms - of the current AI systems has become a critical theme related to the problem Anthropomorphic interpretation of AI output (see e.g. lnkd.in/dVi9Qf_k ).
Book reviews have been published on ACM Computing Reviews (2021) lnkd.in/dWQpJdkV and on Argumenta (2023): lnkd.in/derH3VKN

I have been invited to present the content of the book in over 20 official scientific events in international conferences, Ph.D Schools in US, China, Japan, Finland, Germany, Sweden, France, Brazil, Poland, Austria and, of course, Italy.

A news I am happy to share is that Routledge/Taylor & Francis contacted me few weeks ago for a second edition! Stay tuned!

The #book is available in many webstores:
- Routledge: lnkd.in/dPrC26p
- Taylor & Francis: lnkd.in/dprVF2w
- Amazon: lnkd.in/dC8rEzPi
