Escaping the Verifier: Learning to Reason via Demonstrations

arXiv:2511.21667v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Training Large Language Models (LLMs) to reason often relies on Reinforcement Learning (RL) with task-specific verifiers. However, many real-world reasoning-intensive tasks lack verifiers, despite offering abundant expert demonstrations that remain under-utilized for reasoning-focused training. We introduce RARO (Relativistic Adversarial Reasoning Optimization), which learns strong reasoning capabilities from expert demonstrations alone via Inverse Reinforcement Learning. RARO sets up an adversarial game between a policy and a relativistic c…
