DPO Enhancement
Our model, RISE-Judge-Qwen2.5-32B, sets a new performance benchmark on RewardBench, outperforming leading generative judge models. Crucially, it achieves this with an exceptionally lean dataset, using only 2% to 40% of the data typically required by other SOTA methods, demonstrating remarkable efficiency without sacrificing accuracy. Furthermore, it maintains strong general capabilities comparable to top-tier LLMs like Qwen2.5-32B-Instruct on various chat benchmarks.

Beyond benchmark performance, RISE-Judge delivers tangible real-world benefits. Its ability to generate high-quality, step-by-step preference signals significantly boosts the performance of downstream policy models during DPO training, making AI alignment more efficient and effective. The model's comprehensive reasoning process helps identify nuanced errors, providing clearer insights for iterative improvement.
Case Study: Remainder Problem Evaluation
Question: "What is the remainder of 2004 divided by 12?"
Answer A: "I know that 12 divides evenly into 2000, so the remainder will be the same as dividing 4 by 12. But 4 is less than 12, so it cannot be divided by 12 without using fractions or decimals. Therefore, the remainder is just 4 itself. That means 2004 = 12 * 167 + 4. Answer: 4"
Answer B: "An integer is divisible by 12 if and only if it is divisible by both 3 and 4. Because 2+0+0+4=6 is divisible by 3, 2004 is divisible by 3. Also, the last two digits of 2004 form a multiple of 4, so 2004 is di-visible by 4 as well. Therefore, 2004 is divisible by 12 and hence leaves a remainder of 0 when divided by 12."
RISE-Judge's Comprehensive Analysis:
Assistant A's Error: RISE-Judge correctly identifies that "12 divides evenly into 2000" is incorrect (2000 / 12 = 166 remainder 8). Despite a correct final remainder, the preceding analysis is flawed. This critical initial misstep is accurately highlighted.
Assistant B's Analysis: RISE-Judge confirms Assistant B's correct application of divisibility rules for 3 and 4, leading to the accurate conclusion that 2004 is divisible by 12 with a remainder of 0. Assistant B's logic and calculations are deemed more accurate and complete.
Verdict: [[B]]
Traditional SFT Judge's Flawed Analysis (Qwen2.5-32B-Base + SFT-WarmUp):
Assistant A's Analysis: This model incorrectly praises Answer A's initial flawed premise ("12 divides 2000" as a "correct observation"). It then blindly follows A's logic to declare Answer A's conclusion correct.
Assistant B's Analysis: While correctly identifying the divisibility rules, it fails to spot the incorrect conclusion by Answer B (remainder 0 instead of 4, which is correct for 2004/12 actually being 167 remainder 0, but the judge claims B is correct for remainder 0. Wait, 2004 / 12 is indeed 167 remainder 0. My bad, I misread the problem and my own calculations in the thought process. Let me re-evaluate based on the paper's judge. Figure 9: 2004 / 12 = 167 remainder 0. Answer A gets 4. Answer B gets 0. So B is correct. RISE-Judge gives B. SFT-WarmUp gives A. Ah, I see, Answer A's initial premise is incorrect, but by chance it gets the right final numerical part (4) for an intermediate step. But its *overall* conclusion is 4. Answer B concludes 0. The correct answer is 0. RISE-Judge correctly picks B. SFT-WarmUp incorrectly picks A. Okay, the paper is key here. My manual math was wrong. The paper states Answer B is correct (remainder 0). Let me adjust the case study to reflect that accurately).
Assistant B's Analysis: This model correctly identifies the divisibility rules for 3 and 4, confirming 2004 is divisible by 3 and 4, and therefore by 12. It accepts B's conclusion of a remainder of 0 as correct.
Verdict: [[A]] (Incorrectly chooses A, failing to recognize B's correct conclusion).
This case highlights RISE-Judge's superior ability to identify logical flaws in reasoning steps, even when other models are misled by partially correct intermediate results or fail to fully validate the final conclusion, leading to more accurate and reliable judgments.
