A distributional reward model p(r|x,y) yields the closed-form effective reward ilde r(x,y) = eta ext{log} ext{E}_p[e^{r/eta}] (pessimistic branch) that unifies prior RLHF aggregation heuristics under Bayesian or KL-DRO views.
Survey mapping RL techniques onto LLM training and highlighting gaps in value-based, off-policy, and bootstrapping methods.
