New AI training method uses rubrics as privileged information for open-ended generation

Researchers have developed a new method called On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) that utilizes rubrics as privileged information (PI) for open-ended text generation. This approach enhances the training signal for models by using rubrics to guide preferences, which is more effective than traditional reinforcement learning methods that use rubrics as scalar rewards. The technique has demonstrated superior performance on benchmarks like HealthBench and ResearchQA when applied to model families such as Qwen and Llama, outperforming reference completion distillation and rubric-as-reward reinforcement learning.
