TUR-DPO: Topology- and Uncertainty-Aware Direct Preference Optimization

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.00224v1 Announce Type: new Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences is commonly done via reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) with Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) or, simply, via Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). While DPO is stable and RL-free, it treats preferences as flat winner vs. loser signals and is sensitive to noisy or brittle preferences arising from fragile chains of thought.
