Linear-DPO replaces sigmoid utility with linear utility and adds EMA reference to improve preference alignment in diffusion and flow-matching text-to-image models.
DPO-RLHF equivalence holds only conditionally on the optimal policy preferring human-preferred responses; otherwise DPO optimizes relative advantage and can prefer worse outputs, addressed by introducing CPO.
RAT reformulates regularized natural policy gradients as vanilla gradients with a transformed advantage, computed efficiently via randomized block Kaczmarz iterations on on-policy data.
DRATS derives a minimax objective from a feasibility formulation of MTRL to adaptively sample tasks with the largest return gaps, leading to better worst-task performance on MetaWorld benchmarks.
TBPO posits a token-level Bradley-Terry model and derives a Bregman-divergence density-ratio matching loss that generalizes DPO while preserving token-level optimality.
The Expert Identity Cognition Model (EICM) frames expert cognition as an identity-structured negotiation process in which situational constraints are interpreted through internal tensions to produce stable value structures that guide judgment.
Recursive generative retraining with pluralistic preferences converges to a stable diverse distribution that satisfies a weighted Nash bargaining solution.
POPO uses bounded importance sampling on positive rollouts and a siamese policy network to achieve implicit negative gradients and stable optimization, matching or exceeding GRPO on math benchmarks such as 36.67% on AIME 2025.
The work establishes a regret lower bound of Ω(T^{2/3} min(K,D)^{1/3}) for fair multi-user dueling bandits with heterogeneous Condorcet winners and gives algorithms achieving matching upper bounds up to logs.
CoT-PoT ensembling achieves self-consistency accuracy in LLMs with only two samples for 78.6% of tasks, reducing computation by 9.3x compared to standard methods.
COALA applies convex optimization reformulations of neural networks to direct preference optimization, claiming single-GPU training with ~18% of DPO's TFLOPs and competitive performance on multiple datasets and models up to 8B parameters.
A hierarchical framework extracts implicit safety criteria from crowd preferences and composes them via high-level policy to reduce safety violations in downstream RL tasks without explicit safety rewards.
PriorZero uses root-only LLM prior injection in MCTS and alternating world-model training with LLM fine-tuning to raise exploration efficiency and final performance on Jericho text games and BabyAI gridworlds.
Annotation-anchored training reduces semantic diversity collapse in post-trained language models by a factor of six compared to standard supervised fine-tuning while preserving instruction-following and improving with scale.
Formalizes preference learning from a no-regret or Boltzmann-converging learner with theoretical guarantees or impossibility results for IRL algorithms.
The work derives the optimal ratio of dynamics-to-reward samples that minimizes a bound on return error and characterizes the tradeoff between noisy but cheap rewards versus accurate but expensive ones in imagination-based policy optimization.
A threshold-guided alignment method lets visual generative models be optimized directly from scalar human ratings instead of requiring paired preference data.
MoR lets clients train local reward models on private preferences and uses a learned Mixture-of-Rewards with GRPO on the server to align a shared base VLM without exchanging parameters, architectures, or raw data.
REGLU guides LoRA-based unlearning via representation subspaces and orthogonal regularization to outperform prior methods on forget-retain trade-off in LLM benchmarks.
LIMO achieves 63.3% on AIME24 and 95.6% on MATH500 via supervised fine-tuning on roughly 1% of the data used by prior models, supporting the claim that minimal strategic examples suffice when pre-training has already encoded domain knowledge.
PRIME enables online process reward model updates in LLM RL using implicit rewards from rollouts and outcome labels, yielding 15.1% average gains on reasoning benchmarks and surpassing a stronger instruct model with 10% of the data.
SCoRe uses multi-turn online RL with regularization on self-generated traces to improve LLM self-correction, achieving 15.6% and 9.1% gains on MATH and HumanEval for Gemini models.
DPOP is a new loss function that prevents DPO from lowering preferred response likelihoods and outperforms standard DPO on diverse datasets, MT-Bench, and enables Smaug-72B to exceed 80% on the Open LLM Leaderboard.
