Paper discusses the “hallucination tax” issue in Reinforcement Learning Fine-tuning (RFT): Research by Taiwei Shi et al. points out that while Reinforcement Learning Fine-tuning (RFT) enhances the reasoning capabilities of large language models, it may cause models to confidently generate hallucinatory answers when faced with unanswerable questions, a phenomenon termed the “hallucination tax.” The study introduced the SUM dataset (Synthetic Unanswerable Math problems) for validation and found that standard RFT training significantly reduces the model’s refusal rate. By incorporating a small amount of SUM data into RFT, the model’s appropriate refusal behavior can be effectively restored, improving its awareness of its own uncertainty and knowledge boundaries.
