Fully Unsupervised LLM Reasoning Incentivization
Unlock Advanced Reasoning with Zero Supervision
This paper introduces Entropy Minimized Policy Optimization (EMPO), a fully unsupervised reinforcement learning method to enhance LLM reasoning. Unlike traditional approaches reliant on supervised fine-tuning or pre-trained reward models, EMPO minimizes predictive entropy on unlabeled questions in a latent semantic space. It achieves competitive performance on mathematical and free-form natural reasoning tasks, boosting Qwen2.5-Math-7B Base accuracy from 30.7% to 48.1% and Qwen2.5-7B Base on MMLU-Pro from 32.1% to 50.1%, without any external supervision.
Executive Impact: Key Performance Indicators
EMPO delivers significant advancements in LLM reasoning, demonstrated by tangible boosts in accuracy and a revolutionary reduction in reliance on costly supervision.

Unsupervised EMPO on Qwen2.5-Math-7B Base
EMPO boosts the accuracy of Qwen2.5-Math-7B Base from 30.7% to 48.1% on mathematical benchmarks and improves Qwen2.5-7B Base accuracy from 32.1% to 50.1% on MMLU-Pro. This significant improvement is achieved without any supervised signals, demonstrating EMPO's ability to efficiently elicit and refine latent reasoning capabilities within base models, rather than instilling fundamentally new skills.
