RecurSE: Bounded Recursive Self-Evaluation for LLM Rubric Judges

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 25, 2026 · UTC

LLM-as-judge is essential for evaluating open-ended text and steering post-training, yet improving the judge itself typically relies on expensive annotations, reward models, or distillation from stronger teachers. In this work, we eliminate external gold supervision from the RL training reward: the model's own evaluative capability generates learning signals for its optimization -- a closed-loop setting of bounded recursive self-improvement (RSI) termed Recursive Self-Evaluation (RecurSE). We study two central questions: when can self-improvement occur, and when must it stop? First, RecurSE pa
