arXiv:2506. 13741v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Preference-based reinforcement learning (PbRL) has emerged as a promising approach for learning behaviors from human feedback without predefined reward functions.
arXiv:2608. 08604v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) is a powerful framework for solving complex collaborative tasks, but it relies heavily on well-defined global reward functions.
arXiv:2606. 19328v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Preference-based RL provides an approach to learning reward models from pairwise comparisons of behaviors, bypassing the need for explicit reward design.
arXiv:2509. 22851v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Margin-based optimization is fundamental to improving generalization and robustness in classification tasks.
arXiv:2606. 01123v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Preference-based reinforcement learning (PbRL) avoids explicit reward engineering by learning from pairwise human preference feedback.
arXiv:2606. 01382v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Preference alignment is central to improving large language models, but standard reward-based formulations can be restrictive when human preferences are cyclic, non-transitive, or otherwise not representable by a scalar reward.
arXiv:2607. 11432v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this work, we study the reinforcement learning (RL) problem from pairwise trajectory comparisons provided by a human expert.
arXiv:2606. 09124v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has enabled progress on reasoning-intensive tasks by relying on task-specific verifiers that provide automated correctness signals.
arXiv:2606. 11982v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Preference-based reinforcement learning (PbRL) learns policies from human trajectory-level comparisons, avoiding explicit reward design and expert demonstrations.
arXiv:2502. 18447v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Existing approaches to reward inference typically assume that humans provide demonstrations according to specific behavior models.
arXiv:2607. 08647v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As autonomous agents are increasingly deployed across diverse operational contexts, aligning their behavior with human intent demands reward functions that remain robust to such changes rather than overfitting to any single environment.
arXiv:2506. 13702v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Single-trajectory preference optimization methods learn from datasets of ((prompt, response, reward)) tuples, offering a practical alternative to pairwise preference learning by directly leveraging scalar feedback.
arXiv:2606. 27180v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse rewards are inherently challenging for reinforcement learning agents as they lack intermediate feedback to guide exploration and to correctly attribute the sparse success rewards to relevant parts of the trajectory.
