Title: Difference Feedback: Generating Multimodal Process-Level Supervision for VLM Reinforcement Learning
Abstract:
arXiv:2603.27482v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision--language models (VLMs) are increasingly aligned via Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO)-style training. However, relying solely on terminal outcome rewards yields sparse credit assignment in multi-step reasoning, weakening the linkage between visual evidence and intermediate steps and often causing unstable optimization and visual hallucinations. We propose Differential Feedback, which automatically constructs token/step-level super
