AIRL-S: Unifying Reinforcement Learning and Search-Based Test-Time Scaling via Adversarial Inverse Reinforcement Learning

Test-time scaling strategies for Large Language Models predominantly rely on either reinforcement learning with sparse outcome rewards or search-based methods guided by static Process Reward Models. However, outcome-based RL often suffers from training instability and sample inefficiency, while static PRMs require expensive step-wise supervision and are susceptible to reward hacking due to distributional shifts. In this paper, we introduce AIRL-S, a unified framework that integrates Adversarial Inverse Reinforcement Learning with Group Relative Policy Optimization. By inferring a dense, step-wise reward model directly from reference trajectories, AIRL-S eliminates the dependency on labeled process data and uses the same learned PRM as both a training signal and a verifier for search-based TTS. Extensive evaluations across eight benchmarks in mathematics, science, and code generation demonstrate that our policy model improves average performance by 9\% over the base model, matching GPT-4o. We further analyze how the AIRL and GRPO objectives complement each other and how the learned PRM transfers across generators and search algorithms, establishing a robust and cost-effective methodology for scaling test-time computation in complex reasoning tasks.
