Sharp Analysis for KL-Regularized Contextual Bandits and RLHF
Heyang Zhao, Chenlu Ye, Quanquan Gu +1
Reverse-Kullback-Leibler (KL) regularization has emerged to be a predominant technique used to enhance policy optimization in reinforcement learning (RL) and reinforcement learning…
Distributionally Robust Reinforcement Learning with Interactive Data Collection: Fundamental Hardness and Near-Optimal Algorithms
Miao Lu, Han Zhong, Tong Zhang +1
The sim-to-real gap, which represents the disparity between training and testing environments, poses a significant challenge in reinforcement learning (RL). A promising approach to…
Arithmetic Control of LLMs for Diverse User Preferences: Directional Preference Alignment with Multi-Objective Rewards
Haoxiang Wang, Yong Lin, Wei Xiong +5
Fine-grained control over large language models (LLMs) remains a significant challenge, hindering their adaptability to diverse user needs. While Reinforcement Learning from Human…
Towards Robust Model-Based Reinforcement Learning Against Adversarial Corruption
Chenlu Ye, Jiafan He, Quanquan Gu +1
This study tackles the challenges of adversarial corruption in model-based reinforcement learning (RL), where the transition dynamics can be corrupted by an adversary. Existing stu…
Online Iterative Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback with General Preference Model
Chenlu Ye, Wei Xiong, Yuheng Zhang +3
We investigate Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) in the context of a general preference oracle. In particular, we do not assume the existence of a reward function a…
Iterative Preference Learning from Human Feedback: Bridging Theory and Practice for RLHF under KL-Constraint
Wei Xiong, Hanze Dong, Chenlu Ye +5
This paper studies the alignment process of generative models with Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). We first identify the primary challenges of existing popular m…
