A Unifying Lens on Reward Uncertainty in RLHF

arXiv:2606. 09073v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) is bottlenecked by \emph{reward hacking}, where the policy exploits errors in a proxy reward model (RM) and produces high RM scores without genuine quality gains.

Uncertainty-Aware Reward Discounting for Mitigating Reward Hacking

arXiv:2604. 26360v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) systems face a compounding alignment challenge: not only are learned reward models uncertain about unseen state-action pairs, but the human preference annotations they are trained on are themselves inconsistent, context-dependent, and noisy.
