| Challenge: | Existing data annotation methods suffer from high annotation cost and lack of effective automatic validation. |
| Approach: | They propose a Fine-grained Multi-Agent Debate framework and a dataset that prompts multiple agents to debate and then a Multi-agent Debates Reward Model (MRM) to improve its mathematical reasoning capabilities. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by 1.2% and 3.5% on a GSM8K dataset and 45.1% on the MATH dataset. |
