Training Multimodal Reward Model Through Stable Reinforcement Learning

🔥 We are proud to open-source R1-Reward, a comprehensive project for improve reward modeling through reinforcement learning. This release includes:

• R1-Reward Model: A state-of-the-art (SOTA) multimodal reward model demonstrating substantial gains (Voting@15):
  • 13.5% improvement on VL Reward-Bench.
  • 3.5% improvement on MM-RLHF Reward-Bench.
  • 14.6% improvement on Multimodal Reward Bench.
• StableReinforce Algorithm: A novel reinforcement learning method that enhances the Reinforce++ approach by improving training loss stability, advantage estimation, and reward function design.
• Open-Source Resources: We provide the R1-Reward model, the R1-Reward RL training dataset, and inference code for IXC-Reward，MM-RLHF Reward and R1-Reward on the three benchmarks in Figure 1.
