Evidencepartial
We propose Process-Aware Policy Optimization (PAPO), a method that integrates process-level evaluation into Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) through decoupled advantage normalization
Implicationpartial
This is the core methodological contribution explicitly stated in the abstract and introduction.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
PAPO resolves both by composing the advantage from an outcome component Aout, derived from ORM and normalized over all responses, and a process component Aproc, derived from a rubric-based PRM and normalized exclusively among correct responses.
Implicationpartial
The abstract clearly outlines the problems PAPO aims to solve with existing reward models.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
Experiments across multiple model scales and six benchmarks demonstrate that PAPO consistently outperforms ORM, reaching 51.3% vs. 46.3% on OlympiadBench
Implicationpartial
This is a specific quantitative result presented in the abstract and supported by a figure.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
while continuing to improve as ORM plateaus and declines.
Implicationpartial
This is a direct comparison of performance trends between PAPO and ORM, supported by figures.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
However, GRPO with ORM evaluates only final-answer correctness, providing no signal on reasoning process quality, which leads to two critical issues.
Implicationpartial
This is a limitation of the baseline method explicitly stated in the introduction.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
However, as we demonstrate in §3, naive integration of PRM scores into GRPO leads to training instability.
Implicationpartial
The abstract and analysis sections highlight the issues with direct PRM integration.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
This decoupled design ensures that Aout anchors training on correctness while Aproc differentiates reasoning quality without distorting the outcome signal.
Implicationpartial
This describes the technical mechanism and benefit of PAPO's design, as stated in the abstract.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
Naive multiplicative combination (ORM×PRM) barely improves over ORM, while PAPO’s decoupled normalization yields substantial gains on all benchmarks.
Implicationpartial
The analysis section and figures demonstrate the ineffectiveness of a simple multiplicative combination.
