Step labels written by humans are expensive, though, and earlier automatically labelled PRMs gave only marginal gains over outcome reward models (ORMs). This work asks what a step-level reward should actually measure.… ## All works 9 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Politeness Transfer: A Tag and Generate Approach](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/madaan-2020-politeness-transfer-tag-generate-approach/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Aman Madaan, Amrith Setlur, Tanmay Parekh, et al.*2020 · 235 citations* 2.
