In this paper, we address the issue of fairness in preference-based reinforcement learning (PbRL) in the presence of multiple objectives. The main objective is to design control policies that can optimize multiple objectives while treating each objective fairly. Toward this objective, we design a new fairness-induced preference-based reinforcement learning or FPbRL. The main idea of FPbRL is to learn vector reward functions associated with multiple objectives via new welfare-based preferences rather than reward-based preference in PbRL, coupled with policy learning via maximizing a generalized Gini welfare function. Finally, we provide experiment studies on three different environments to show that the proposed FPbRL approach can achieve both efficiency and equity for learning effective and fair policies.

  1. Fair Resource Allocation in Weakly Coupled Markov Decision Processes

    cs.LG 2024-11 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    For symmetric weakly coupled MDPs, maximizing a generalized Gini fairness objective reduces to solving a standard average-reward (utilitarian) problem over permutation-invariant policies.

  2. LEMUR: Learning to Align with Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning from Preference Feedback

    cs.AI 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    LEMUR jointly learns a separate reward model for each teacher's preferences and uses them to train a population of multi-objective policies, beating baselines that merge feedback into one reward.
