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.

Multi-LLM Collaborative Alignment via Stackelberg Games

The paper introduces Stackelberg Alignment, a leader‑follower framework that lets a pool of language models collaborate and improve by learning from each other’s responses. An EXP3 bandit leader adaptively selects instructions based on difficulty and discriminability, while the models act as followers, evaluating peers and learning via DPO or GRPO with Elo‑style reputation weighting and opponent matching. Experiments on diverse benchmarks show that this adaptive curriculum outperforms static baselines by up to 12‑25% and improves multi‑LLM evolution.
