Self-Trained Verification for Training- and Test-Time Self-Improvement
Researchers propose Self-Trained Verification (STV), a novel approach that improves AI reasoning models by training verifiers to catch self-generated errors using reference solutions as supervision. The method doubles accuracy on hard math problems and achieves 14x improvement on scientific reasoning tasks, while also enabling more effective self-training through verifier-in-the-loop training that further boosts performance by 33%.
