To Go Far, Go Together: Diverse Preferences Induce a Curriculum for Reward Optimization

The paper introduces CurriPO, a tree‑structured curriculum that automatically adapts to diverse user reward models in AI alignment tasks. By exploiting the natural hierarchy between easy‑ and hard‑to‑optimize reward models, CurriPO covers a broad user population in a single traversal, reusing previously incorporated reward models. Experiments on personalized continuous control show that CurriPO improves population satisfaction by 1.2–2.1× over the strongest baseline while cutting training time and better serving users traditionally underserved by conventional optimization.

To Go Far, Go Together: Diverse Preferences Induce a Curriculum for Reward Optimization

The paper introduces CurriPO, a tree‑structured curriculum that adapts to diverse user reward models in AI alignment. By automatically building a curriculum that branches and reuses reward models, it addresses the problem of users whose reward models are hard to optimize, a group often underserved by conventional methods. Experiments on personalized continuous control demonstrate that CurriPO improves population satisfaction by 1.2–2.1× over the best baseline while cutting training time.

Personalized Group Relative Policy Optimization for Heterogenous Preference Alignment

The paper introduces Personalized Group Relative Policy Optimization (P‑GRPO), a new alignment framework for large language models that separates advantage estimation from immediate batch statistics. By normalizing advantages using preference‑group‑specific reward histories instead of the concurrent generation group, P‑GRPO maintains contrastive signals for distinct user preferences. Experiments across various tasks show that P‑GRPO converges faster and yields higher rewards than standard GRPO, improving alignment with heterogeneous human preferences while preserving general capabilities.
