Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper proposes a Conciseness Reward Model and a novel Conciseness Reward Function that explicitly links outcome quality with reasoning brevity. This approach addresses issues of length and training collapse seen in prior length-penalty methods, improving convergence and reducing variance in training, leading to more efficient and accurate reasoning.
