- Checklists Are Better Than Reward Models For Aligning Language Models (2025 · 37 citations)
Reinforcement learning works well for tasks with checkable answers. It is much harder to apply to open-ended instruction following, where reward models can be gamed and generic criteria such as "helpfulness" miss request-specific needs. The authors propose Reinforcement Learning from Checklist Feedback (RLCF), which… - Hilbert: Recursively Building Formal Proofs with Informal Reasoning (2025 · 26 citations)
Large language models handle informal mathematics well, but their arguments often contain errors that are hard to check.
