强化大语言模型中步骤级推理以实现高效自我纠错
文章背景与核心概要
大语言模型(LLM)在面对复杂推理任务时,如何自主发现并纠正自身的错误(即自我纠错与错误验证)一直是一个根本性的挑战。现有模型往往缺乏可靠的步骤级监控能力,导致纠错过程低效甚至适得其反。为了克服这一限制,本文作者提出了一种名为 Self-Fix Step-DPO (SFS-DPO) 的新型两阶段强化学习框架,旨在全面提升大语言模型的步骤级自我验证与自我纠错能力。
该研究的核心技术分为两个阶段:第一阶段通过步骤级偏好优化(step-level preference optimization)来强化模型的步骤级推理能力;第二阶段则显式地训练模型进行自我验证和错误修正。此外,研究团队还引入了教师辅助变体 SFS-DPO-R,通过在错误验证中加入解释性理由(explanatory rationales),从而提供更强有力的纠正信号。在多个域内(in-domain)和大模型(out-of-domain)上的广泛评估表明,SFS-DPO 及其变体显著优于现有的步骤级基线方法,大幅提升了模型自我纠错的频率与有效性。

📝 摘要全文 (Abstract)
实现有效的自我纠错(即模型能够验证并纠正自身的错误)对大语言模型(LLM)而言仍然是一个根本性的挑战。在这项工作中,我们提出了 Self-Fix Step-DPO (SFS-DPO),这是一个基于强化学习的两阶段框架,用于实现步骤级的自我验证和自我纠错。第一阶段通过步骤级偏好优化来增强步骤级推理,而第二阶段则显式训练模型进行自我验证和自我纠错。我们进一步引入了一种教师辅助变体 SFS-DPO-R,它结合了错误验证的解释性理由,以提供更强的纠错信号。在多个 LLM 上进行的综合域内和域外评估表明,SFS-DPO 和 SFS-DPO-R 始终优于先前的步骤级训练基线。我们的分析进一步揭示了自我纠错频率和有效性的提升,凸显了强化步骤级推理对于实现鲁棒性能的重要性。
Achieving effective self-correction, where models verify and correct their own mistakes, remains a fundamental challenge for large language models (LLMs). In this work, we propose Self-Fix Step-DPO (SFS-DPO), a reinforcement learning based, two-stage framework for step-level self-verification and self-correction. The first stage strengthens step-level reasoning via step-level preference optimization, while the second stage explicitly trains models to self-verify and self-correct. We further introduce a teacher-assisted variant, SFS-DPO-R, which incorporates explanatory rationales for error verification to provide stronger corrective signals. Comprehensive in-domain and out-of-domain evaluations across multiple LLMs demonstrate that SFS-DPO and SFS-DPO-R consistently outperform prior step-level training baselines. Our analysis further reveals improvements in self-correction frequency and effectiveness, highlighting the importance of strengthening step-level reasoning for robust performance.
