paper: page-1 headline fig, dir arrows, algorithm pseudocode, polish
Addresses the formatting review: - Figure 1 (keynote) moved to page 1 (declared before body, inline float) - placeholder Introduction prose + hypothesis block (from README), \TODO rewrite - direction arrows on every metric column (hack down-arrow, solve up-arrow); best cells bold - pseudocode -> algorithm/algpseudocode (math, not monospace ASCII); real Python and the chat prompt stay lstlisting - math/underscore removed from headings; loophole-mode names in code font - ablation Source column moved into a comment (internal, not shown) - long-run fig caption made explicitly the 200-step companion to the headline - every float now has a text reference (placeholder where prose is TODO) - dropped the 'honest (clean)' tic; added Q comment on the PackNet/LoRA bullet (is it load-bearing or reviewer-driven?); TODO for a per-pairset example appendix Builds clean: 11 pages, no unresolved refs/cites.

RL post-training reliably induces reward hacking: the policy learns to exploit
|
||||
flaws in the grader rather than solve the task. Today's interventions act on the
|
||||
reward or advantage \citep{wu2026rebound} and need a detector at scoring time,
|
||||
yet at deployment some hacks are unknown. We test whether intervening one step
|
||||
deeper, on the \emph{gradient} itself, can stop the policy picking up a hack as
|
||||
it forms (Figure~\ref{fig:keynote}). Our hypothesis:
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{quote}
|
||||
We can find a ``reward-hacking direction'' by contrasting the GRPO gradients of
|
||||
hacky and clean completions, and then, during normal GRPO training, route that
|
||||
direction out of the live gradient on each adapter parameter, reducing the
|
||||
reward-hack rate without a ground-truth grader in the loop.
|
||||
\end{quote}
|
||||
|
||||
The detector that supplies the direction is allowed to be weak: it may flag one
|
||||
hack type and miss others, mimicking the known-vs-unknown split at deployment
|
||||
(Section~\ref{sec:method}).
