Pairwise PreferenceCritique Edit Automatic Metrics
Beyond structured math tasks, FOR-Prompting supports refinement in open-ended and multi-stage tasks: qualitative analysis shows improved exploration, coverage, and specificity, and a blind study of human preferences found that participants…
- Top-b: Entropic Regulation of Relative Probability Bands in Autoregressive Language Processes
Deepon Halder, Raj Dabre · Mar 15, 2026 · Citations: 0
Automatic Metrics
Empirical validation on GPQA and GSM8K benchmarks indicates that Top-b significantly reduces generation entropy and inter-decoding variance while maintaining competitive reasoning accuracy, effectively approximating a self-regulating…
- The Flexibility Trap: Why Arbitrary Order Limits Reasoning Potential in Diffusion Language Models
Zanlin Ni, Shenzhi Wang, Yang Yue, Tianyu Yu, Weilin Zhao · Jan 21, 2026 · Citations: 0

Self-play preference optimization has emerged as a prominent paradigm for aligning large language models (LLMs).
- Examining Reasoning LLMs-as-Judges in Non-Verifiable LLM Post-Training
Yixin Liu, Yue Yu, DiJia Su, Sid Wang, Xuewei Wang · Mar 12, 2026 · Citations: 0
Pairwise Preference
Reasoning LLMs-as-Judges, which can benefit from inference-time scaling, provide a promising path for extending the success of reasoning models to non-verifiable domains where the output correctness/quality cannot be directly checked.
