Parallel-SFT: Improving Zero-Shot Cross-Programming-Language Transfer for Code RL

Zhaofeng Wu, Shiqi Wang, Boya Peng +5

Modern language models demonstrate impressive coding capabilities in common programming languages (PLs), such as C++ and Python, but their performance in lower-resource PLs is ofte…

Reuse Your Rewards: Reward Model Transfer for Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Alignment

Zhaofeng Wu, Ananth Balashankar, Yoon Kim +2

Aligning language models (LMs) based on human-annotated preference data is a crucial step in obtaining practical and performant LM-based systems. However, multilingual human prefer…
