arXiv:2606.07988v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly rely on reward models to align their outputs with diverse user preferences. While personalized reward models aim to capture such heterogeneity, they are often trained on imbalanced user preference data and may therefore favor users whose preferences are more common in the training population. In this paper, we identify this failure mode as personalized reward bias, where reward modeling quality varies systematically with preference support rate. We formulate its mitigation as a Pareto fairness problem ove
The increasing reliance on personalized reward models for LLMs, coupled with the inherent imbalance of real-world user data, necessitates research into mitigating algorithmic biases to ensure fairer AI systems.
Addressing personalized reward bias is crucial for developing equitable AI systems that cater to diverse user needs without inadvertently marginalizing minority preferences, impacting user trust and adoption.
This research introduces a novel framework for Pareto fairness optimization in personalized reward modeling, potentially leading to more robust and ethically aligned AI systems.
