RubricArmor: Adversarial Evolution Improves LLM-Based Rubric Generation
Rubric-based reinforcement learning (RL) provides interpretable rewards for aligning large language models (LLMs) by evaluating responses against query-specific evaluation criteria. To construct rubrics at scale, a straightforward approach to LLM-based rubric generation is to prompt an LLM to generate a rubric directly from the query. However, rubrics directly generated by LLMs are vulnerable to reward hacking, since omitted or underspecified criteria allow the policy to obtain high rubric rewards with low-quality responses. Existing LLM-based rubric generation methods improve the granularity and coverage of the generated criteria but do not proactively guard against reward hacking. To ad...
