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…
Sample Complexity of Preference-Based Nonparametric Off-Policy Evaluation with Deep Networks
Zihao Li, Xiang Ji, Minshuo Chen +1
A recently popular approach to solving reinforcement learning is with data from human preferences. In fact, human preference data are now used with classic reinforcement learning a…
Sample Complexity of Neural Policy Mirror Descent for Policy Optimization on Low-Dimensional Manifolds
Zhenghao Xu, Xiang Ji, Minshuo Chen +2
Policy gradient methods equipped with deep neural networks have achieved great success in solving high-dimensional reinforcement learning (RL) problems. However, current analyses c…
Provable Benefits of Policy Learning from Human Preferences in Contextual Bandit Problems
Xiang Ji, Huazheng Wang, Minshuo Chen +2
For a real-world decision-making problem, the reward function often needs to be engineered or learned. A popular approach is to utilize human feedback to learn a reward function fo…
