arXiv:2604. 27733v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) with human intent, whether through explicit reward modeling or direct methods such as DPO, fundamentally relies on minimizing a surrogate loss as a proxy for the true pairwise ranking objective.
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.
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.
arXiv:2606. 19744v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Aligning language models with human preferences often requires optimising multiple behavioural objectives.
arXiv:2606. 12505v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Offline preference optimization has become a practical substitute for reinforcement learning from human feedback, but pairwise objectives such as Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) and its variants use only the chosen and rejected responses stored in a static dataset.
The paper introduces GAP-DPO, a method for personalizing large language models by selecting preference pairs based on gradient alignment with user utility. It formalizes personalized preference learning as a geometry‑aligned optimization problem, showing that off‑policy sampling can shift DPO updates from error correction to reinforcement when preference margins align with utility gradients. Experiments demonstrate that GAP‑DPO improves stylistic fidelity, preference alignment, and overall generation quality over standard DPO variants.

GroupDPO introduces a memory‑efficient approach to group‑wise direct preference optimization for aligning large language models. By using first‑order linearization with per‑response coefficients, the method decouples samples during backpropagation, dramatically reducing peak memory usage and enabling scalable training with larger groups. Experiments in both offline and online settings show that leveraging multiple responses consistently outperforms single‑pair training, and adding a negative log‑likelihood term on positive responses is essential for performance gains and training stability.
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.
