Data-DPO is a target model‑oriented supervised fine‑tuning data selection method that uses one‑step probing of the target model to generate pairwise data preferences, trains a lightweight reward model to capture these preferences, and then selects a training subset by combining target‑model preference, external quality scores, and marginal diversity. Experiments on Vision‑Flan and LLaVA‑CoT demonstrate that Data‑DPO consistently outperforms existing data selection baselines across multiple data budgets and even surpasses full data training performance.

The paper extends ex‑ante evaluation of Predict‑Then‑Optimize methods from binary to multiclass classification by simulating predictions at specified performance levels and mapping prediction errors to decision regret. It introduces a first‑order approximation that estimates regret from individual misclassifications, reducing computational effort. Experiments show the simulation accurately reproduces target performance and that the approximation is close for some problems, though it falters when simultaneous misclassifications interact significantly.

The paper introduces VTC-Bench, a five‑domain benchmark designed to evaluate multiple outputs from large language models (LLMs) by measuring Validated Task Coverage (VTC). VTC quantifies how many distinct, useful results are produced within a set number of attempts, using real‑data tasks that allow automatic, reproducible checks of output quality and task‑relevant distinctness without relying on model‑based judges. Experiments show that models which perform best on single‑draw quality do not always achieve the highest coverage, and simple output‑variation metrics fail to capture task‑relevant diversity, highlighting the importance of evaluating finite candidate sets directly.
