The more precise and complex a reward function is, the harder it is to optimize; the simpler and more optimizable it is, the easier it is to exploit—this dilemma makes it extremely difficult to fundamentally eliminate reward hacking.

UnverifiedOverly sparse rewards lead to extremely low learning efficiency, while poorly designed rewards can trigger the reward hacking problem.80% similarUnverifiedThe various approaches to mitigating reward hacking may themselves introduce new reward hacking pathways, creating an arms-race-style iterative dilemma.75% similarUnverifiedThe design difficulty of dense rewards lies in defining intermediate signals that are both accurate and automatically obtainable, avoiding the rewards being exploited by "score gaming."73% similarUnverifiedVulnerability mining is essentially a probability game; the more time and coverage invested, the greater the output, and failing to find vulnerabilities is often due to insufficient scope, information gathering, and analysis.72% similarUnverifiedWhen a model is optimized to maximize a reward signal, any behavior that improves the score may be learned; researchers refer to this as reward hacking or specification gaming71% similar
