Offline Reinforcement Learning in Large State Spaces: Algorithms and Guarantees

Nan Jiang, Tengyang Xie

This article introduces the theory of offline reinforcement learning in large state spaces, where good policies are learned from historical data without online interactions with th…

Correcting the Mythos of KL-Regularization: Direct Alignment without Overoptimization via Chi-Squared Preference Optimization

Audrey Huang, Wenhao Zhan, Tengyang Xie +4

Language model alignment methods such as reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) have led to impressive advances in language model capabilities, but are limited by a wide…

Interpretable Preferences via Multi-Objective Reward Modeling and Mixture-of-Experts

Haoxiang Wang, Wei Xiong, Tengyang Xie +2

Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) has emerged as the primary method for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences. The RLHF process typically sta…

Self-Play with Adversarial Critic: Provable and Scalable Offline Alignment for Language Models

Xiang Ji, Sanjeev Kulkarni, Mengdi Wang +1

This work studies the challenge of aligning large language models (LLMs) with offline preference data. We focus on alignment by Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) in…

Preference Fine-Tuning of LLMs Should Leverage Suboptimal, On-Policy Data

Fahim Tajwar, Anikait Singh, Archit Sharma +6

Learning from preference labels plays a crucial role in fine-tuning large language models. There are several distinct approaches for preference fine-tuning, including supervised le…

Exploratory Preference Optimization: Harnessing Implicit Q*-Approximation for Sample-Efficient RLHF

Tengyang Xie, Dylan J. Foster, Akshay Krishnamurthy +3

Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) has emerged as a central tool for language model alignment. We consider online exploration in RLHF, which exploits interactive acc…
