VPD frames language feedback learning as variational EM so the teacher policy refines itself via trust-region updates on outcomes while the student learns dense token distributions on its own rollouts, outperforming fixed-teacher baselines on reasoning and code tasks.

Introduces TBPO, which derives a Bregman-divergence density-ratio matching objective for token-level preference optimization that generalizes DPO while preserving the induced optimal policy.
The paper establishes the first tilde O(epsilon^{-1}) upper bounds and matching lower bounds for forward-KL-regularized offline contextual bandits under single-policy concentrability in both tabular and general function approximation settings.
KTO aligns LLMs by directly maximizing prospect-theoretic utility on binary signals and matches or exceeds preference-based methods like DPO from 1B to 30B parameters.
TSP reframes secure code generation as a tree-structured self-play process that supplies dense on-policy signals at vulnerability-prone nodes, yielding higher security pass rates and cross-language generalization than SFT or unstructured self-play.
Introduces HRC model for game-theoretic decomposition of preferences into orthogonal transitive and cyclic components, paired with DSPPO for dynamic Nash-seeking alignment, reporting gains over BT and GPM baselines on RewardBench and downstream LLM evaluations.
CAGE uses common-agency games and an EPEC algorithm to compute equilibrium policies that balance multiple conflicting objectives for test-time LLM alignment.
CoAct synergistically merges self-rewarding and active learning via self-consistency to select reliable AI labels and oracle-needed samples, delivering 8-13% gains on GSM8K, MATH, and WebInstruct.
PRIME enables online process reward model updates in LLM RL using implicit rewards from rollouts and outcome labels, yielding 15.1% average gains on reasoning benchmarks and surpassing a stronger instruct model with 10% of the data.
SCoRe uses multi-turn online RL with regularization on self-generated traces to improve LLM self-correction, achieving 15.6% and 9.1% gains on MATH and HumanEval for Gemini models.
S-SPPO stabilizes SPPO via semantic calibration in supervision and representation spaces, reporting 52.19% win rate on AlpacaEval 2.0 with Llama-3-8B.
This survey examines applications of social choice theory to aggregating human feedback in AI alignment, identifying failure modes and expanding design options for disagreement.
An expository book that systematically presents RLHF methods, from reward modeling to direct alignment algorithms, aimed at readers with quantitative backgrounds.
