The reward model has become increasingly important in alignment, assessment, and data construction for large language models (LLMs). Most existing researchers focus on enhancing reward models through data improvements, following the conventional training framework for reward models that directly optimizes the predicted rewards.In this paper, we propose a hybrid alignment framework **HAF-RM** for reward model training by introducing an additional constraint on token-level policy probabilities in addition to the reward score. It can simultaneously supervise the internal preference model at the token level and optimize the mapping layer of the reward model at the sequence level.Experiment results on five datasets sufficiently show the validity and effectiveness of our proposed hybrid framework for training a high-quality reward model.By decoupling the reward modeling procedure and incorporating hybrid supervision, our **HAF-RM** framework offers a principled and effective approach to enhancing the performance and alignment of reward models, a critical component in the responsible development of powerful language models. We release our code at [https://haf-rm.github.io](https://haf-rm.github.io).
Large language models have demonstrated considerable capabilities in various mathematical tasks, yet they often fall short in rigorous, proof-based reasoning essential for research-level mathematics. Retrieval-augmented generation presents a promising direction for enhancing these capabilities. This paper systematically explores RAG for natural language theorem proving, revealing that LLMs, when augmented with retrieved proofs rather than just theorems, can function as potent mimetic theorem provers: these models can effectively generalize proof techniques found in unstructured retrieved contexts to construct correct proofs for novel theorems. Building upon this finding, we introduce Dual RAG, a simple yet effective RAG framework. Dual RAG employs LLMs to identify underlying reasoning challenges within theorems, augmenting both queries and document contexts to improve retrieval performance. Our experiments show that Dual RAG achieves substantial improvements in retrieval performance, with gains of up to 34.19%. Expert evaluations further confirm that these retrieval enhancements directly translate into higher quality proof generation. Notably, when integrated with the arXiv API, Dual RAG demonstrates the ability to prove research-level theorems in theoretical machine learning, highlighting its strong potential as a foundational element for a practical mathematical copilot.
Existing research for question generation encodes the input text as a sequence of tokens without explicitly modeling fact information. These models tend to generate irrelevant and uninformative questions. In this paper, we explore to incorporate facts in the text for question generation in a comprehensive way. We present a novel task of question generation given a query path in the knowledge graph constructed from the input text. We divide the task into two steps, namely, query representation learning and query-based question generation. We formulate query representation learning as a sequence labeling problem for identifying the involved facts to form a query and employ an RNN-based generator for question generation. We first train the two modules jointly in an end-to-end fashion, and further enforce the interaction between these two modules in a variational framework. We construct the experimental datasets on top of SQuAD and results show that our model outperforms other state-of-the-art approaches, and the performance margin is larger when target questions are complex. Human evaluation also proves that our model is able to generate relevant and informative questions.
Terms contained in Gene Ontology (GO) have been widely used in biology and bio-medicine. Most previous research focuses on inferring new GO terms, while the term names that reflect the gene function are still named by the experts. To fill this gap, we propose a novel task, namely term name generation for GO, and build a large-scale benchmark dataset. Furthermore, we present a graph-based generative model that incorporates the relations between genes, words and terms for term name generation, which exhibits great advantages over the strong baselines.
