用多维偏好模型解决大模型对齐中的奖励陷阱问题。

General Preference Reinforcement Learning

  • 提出多维偏好结构的通用偏好模型,避免单维度奖励主导。
  • 在AlpacaEval 2.0上达到56.51%胜率,优于SimPO和SPPO。
  • 可实时检测并纠正奖励滥用,适合长期训练场景。

后训练将大语言模型对齐分为两条脱节路径:在线强化学习依赖可验证奖励,在数学与代码任务中展现涌现推理能力,但需程序化验证器,无法应对开放生成任务;偏好优化能处理开放生成,却牺牲了持续探索能力。弥合这一差距需要适用于开放任务的质量验证器,但标量奖励模型形状不当——质量是多维的,标量评分是不完整的代理,导致在线强化学习坍缩到最敏感的单一维度。为此,我们转向通用偏好模型(GPM),将响应嵌入 $k$ 个反对称子空间,以结构化方式表达偏好,具备非传递性感知能力。基于此,提出通用偏好强化学习(GPRL),将 $k$-路结构贯穿至策略更新:计算各维度组相对优势,每维独立归一化以避免主导,再以上下文相关特征值聚合。同一结构还支持闭环漂移监控,可实时检测单轴滥用,并通过重加权维度与收紧信任域动态修正。从 exttt{Llama-3-8B-Instruct} 出发,GPRL 在长度控制的 AlpacaEval~2.0 上达 56.51% 胜率,同时在 Arena-Hard、MT-Bench 与 WildBench 上超越 SimPO 与 SPPO,且在长周期训练中有效抵抗奖励黑客行为。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Post-training has split large language model (LLM) alignment into two largely disconnected tracks. Online reinforcement learning (RL) with verifiable rewards drives emergent reasoning on math and code but depends on a programmatic verifier that cannot reach open-ended tasks, while preference optimization handles open-ended generation yet forgoes the continuous exploration that powers online RL. Closing this gap requires a verifier for open-ended quality, but a scalar reward model is the wrong shape for the job. Quality is multi-dimensional, and any scalar score is an incomplete proxy that lets online RL collapse onto whichever axis the score is most sensitive to. We turn instead to the General Preference Model (GPM), which embeds responses into $k$ skew-symmetric subspaces and represents preference as a structured, intransitivity-aware comparison. Building on this, we propose General Preference Reinforcement Learning (GPRL), which carries the $k$-way structure through to the policy update. GPRL computes per-dimension group-relative advantages, normalizes each on its own scale so no axis can dominate, and aggregates them with context-dependent eigenvalues. The same structure powers a closed-loop drift monitor that detects single-axis exploitation and corrects it on the fly by reweighting dimensions and tightening the trust region. Starting from $\texttt{Llama-3-8B-Instruct}$, GPRL reaches a length-controlled win rate of $56.51\%$ on AlpacaEval~2.0 while also outperforming SimPO and SPPO on Arena-Hard, MT-Bench, and WildBench by resisting reward hacking across extended training runs.
