arXiv:2603.07211v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) has become a standard framework for safety alignment, but its reliance on pairwise preference updates makes training sensitive to imperfect supervision. Existing robust DPO methods often address this sensitivity through global loss corrections or external data-level interventions, while largely overlooking how unreliable comparisons distort batch-level optimization dynamics. We propose CompassDPO, a reward-free DPO framework that stabilizes preference optimization through dynamics control. Using the implic
The proliferation of powerful AI models and their integration into critical applications necessitates more robust alignment techniques, particularly as the demand for reliable and safe AI grows.
Improved Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) methods like CompassDPO enhance the safety and reliability of AI models, which is crucial for their broader adoption and prevents negative societal outcomes.
The development of more resilient DPO frameworks reduces the sensitivity of AI alignment to imperfect supervision, leading to more stable and trustworthy AI systems.
