Bayesian Preference Learning for Test-Time Steerable Reward Models

Jiwoo Hong, Shao Tang, Zhipeng Wang

Reward models are central to aligning language models with human preferences via reinforcement learning (RL). As RL is increasingly applied to settings such as verifiable rewards a…

When AI Co-Scientists Fail: SPOT-a Benchmark for Automated Verification of Scientific Research

Guijin Son, Jiwoo Hong, Honglu Fan +8

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have fueled the vision of automated scientific discovery, often called AI Co-Scientists. To date, prior work casts these systems as…

On the Robustness of Reward Models for Language Model Alignment

Jiwoo Hong, Noah Lee, Eunki Kim +5

The Bradley-Terry (BT) model is widely practiced in reward modeling for reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF). Despite its effectiveness, reward models (RMs) trained wi…

Online Difficulty Filtering for Reasoning Oriented Reinforcement Learning

Sanghwan Bae, Jiwoo Hong, Min Young Lee +3

Recent advances in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) show that large language models enhance their reasoning abilities when trained with verifiable signals. How…

Linguistic Generalizability of Test-Time Scaling in Mathematical Reasoning

Guijin Son, Jiwoo Hong, Hyunwoo Ko +1

Scaling pre-training compute has proven effective for achieving mulitlinguality, but does the same hold for test-time scaling? In this work, we introduce MCLM, a multilingual math…

Cross-lingual Transfer of Reward Models in Multilingual Alignment

Jiwoo Hong, Noah Lee, Rodrigo Martínez-Castaño +2

Reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) is shown to largely benefit from precise reward models (RMs). However, recent studies in reward modeling schemes are skewed toward…

Stable Language Model Pre-training by Reducing Embedding Variability

Woojin Chung, Jiwoo Hong, Na Min An +2

Stable pre-training is essential for achieving better-performing language models. However, tracking pre-training stability by calculating gradient variance at every step is impract…

Margin-aware Preference Optimization for Aligning Diffusion Models without Reference

Jiwoo Hong, Sayak Paul, Noah Lee +3

Modern preference alignment methods, such as DPO, rely on divergence regularization to a reference model for training stability-but this creates a fundamental problem we call "refe…

ORPO: Monolithic Preference Optimization without Reference Model

Jiwoo Hong, Noah Lee, James Thorne

While recent preference alignment algorithms for language models have demonstrated promising results, supervised fine-tuning (SFT) remains imperative for achieving successful conve…

Disentangling Structure and Style: Political Bias Detection in News by Inducing Document Hierarchy

Jiwoo Hong, Yejin Cho, Jaemin Jung +2

We address an important gap in detecting political bias in news articles. Previous works that perform document classification can be influenced by the writing style of each news ou…
