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.

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.
