Reward-free Alignment for Conflicting Objectives
Peter Chen, Xiaopeng Li, Xi Chen +1
Direct alignment methods are increasingly used to align large language models (LLMs) with human preferences. However, many real-world alignment problems involve multiple conflictin…
What Makes an LLM a Good Optimizer? A Trajectory Analysis of LLM-Guided Evolutionary Search
Xinhao Zhang, Xi Chen, François Portet +1
Recent work has demonstrated the promise of orchestrating large language models (LLMs) within evolutionary and agentic optimization systems. However, the mechanisms driving these o…
AgentCollab: A Self-Evaluation-Driven Collaboration Paradigm for Efficient LLM Agents
Wenbo Gao, Renxi Liu, Xian Wang +8
Autonomous agents powered by large language models (LLMs) perform complex tasks through long-horizon reasoning and tool interaction, where a fundamental trade-off arises between ex…
ComPO: Preference Alignment via Comparison Oracles
Peter Chen, Xi Chen, Wotao Yin +1
Direct alignment methods are increasingly used for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences. However, these methods suffer from the issues of verbosity and like…
