Adaptive Negative Reinforcement for LLM Reasoning:Dynamically Balancing Correction and Diversity in RLVR

Dimensions overall score 5.0

• This paper introduces adaptive and confidence-weighted negative reinforcement techniques to improve the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models by dynamically balancing error correction and diversity during training. Recent research shows that Negative Sample Reinforcement (NSR) -- which focuses on penalizing incorrect steps rather than simply rewarding correct ones -- can match or even exceed the performance of more complex frameworks like PPO and GRPO across the entire Pass@k spectrum.problem 35%
