Test-Time Self-Play：无需验证器的测试时扩展方法
Test-Time Self-Play: Scaling without a Verifier
AI 导读
一篇 arXiv 论文提出 Test-Time Self-Play（TTSP），一种不依赖验证器的非对称自博弈测试时扩展方法。在难度校准的 LiveCodeBench v6 子集上，TTSP 在所有验证器强度下均表现最佳，且验证器越弱优势越大；在无验证器极限情形下，mean@8 绝对提升 35%。

Abstract:Test-time scaling methods spend additional compute at deployment to improve a large language model's performance on a hard target problem. Most methods rely on a verifier that scores candidate solutions for correctness, using it to select among or refine the model's outputs. In many deployment regimes, however, a strong verifier on the target problem is unavailable. We introduce Test-Time Self-Play (TTSP), an approach to test-time scaling using asymmetric self-play without reliance on a verifier. On a difficulty-calibrated subset of LiveCodeBench v6, TTSP is the best-performing method at every verifier strength we evaluate, and the gap to the strongest baseline widens as the verifier weakens; in the no-verifier limit, TTSP yields a 35\% absolute improvement in mean@8. The gains hold across a range of verifier strengths, except when the base policy has near-zero coverage of the correct answer.
