Alternating Reinforcement Learning with Contextual Rubric Rewards

ArXi:2603.15646v1 Announce Type: cross Reinforcement Learning with Rubric Rewards (RLRR) is a framework that extends conventional reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) and verifiable rewards (RLVR) by replacing scalar preference signals with structured, multi-dimensional, contextual rubric-based evaluations. However, existing approaches in RLRR are limited to linearly compressing vector rewards into a scalar reward with a fixed weightings, which is sensitive to artificial score design and fails to capture correlations among reward dimensions.
