Build RL reward signals using the OpenJudge framework. Covers choosing between pointwise and pairwise reward strategies based on RL algorithm, task type, and cost; aggregating multi-dimensional pointwise scores into a scalar reward; pairwise tournament reward for GRPO on subjective tasks (net win rate across group rollouts); generating preference pairs for DPO/RLAIF; and normalizing scores for training stability. Use when building reward models, scoring rollouts for GRPO/REINFORCE, generating…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# RL Reward Construction with OpenJudge

Build reward signals for reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) and
reinforcement learning from AI feedback (RLAIF) using the `openjudge` library.

## When to Use This Skill

- Building scalar rewards for GRPO / REINFORCE rollout scoring
- Generating (chosen, rejected) preference pairs for DPO / IPO
- Best-of-N candidate selection
- Multi-dimensional reward shaping (correctness + safety + format)
- Replacing or bootstrapping a reward model with LLM-as-judge

## Step 1 — Choose Your Reward Strategy

Use this decision tree **before** writing any code:

```
RL Algorithm + Task type?
│
├── GRPO / REINFORCE — Verifiable task (math, code, structured output)
│   └── → POINTWISE  ✅  (FunctionGrader, exact score, zero LLM cost)
│
├── GRPO / REINFORCE — Subjective task (instruction following, dialogue, summarization)
│   └── → PAIRWISE TOURNAMENT  ✅  (compare each rollout vs all others in group,
│                                    reward = net win rate within group)
│
├── DPO / IPO / SLiC — need (chosen, rejected) pairs
│   └── → PAIRWISE  ✅  (two-way comparison, return winner/loser)
│
└── Best-of-N / reranking — rank N candidates

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add agentscope-ai/openjudge/02-rl-reward@sha256:8a452ea43509bdba

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.d1e0642, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
