DynamicPO: Dynamic Preference Optimization for Recommendation

arXiv:2605. 00327v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In large language model (LLM)-based recommendation systems, direct preference optimization (DPO) effectively aligns recommendations with user preferences, requiring multi-negative objective functions to leverage abundant implicit-feedback negatives and sharpen preference boundaries.

TokenRatio: Principled Token-Level Preference Optimization via Ratio Matching

arXiv:2605. 12288v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) is a widely used RL-free method for aligning language models from pairwise preferences, but it models preferences over full sequences even though generation is driven by per-token decisions.

Metadata-Free Meta-Reweighted Direct Preference Optimization under Noisy Preference Labels

arXiv:2607. 09796v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) has become an important method for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences because it removes the need for explicit reward modeling and reinforcement learning optimization.
