Direct Preference Density Alignment for Conversational Audio Equalization

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 11, 2026 · UTC

Large Language Model alignment typically relies on learned proxy reward models, which significantly increase the memory footprint during training and are notoriously prone to instability and reward hacking. While offline methods like Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) bypass the reward model, they lose the ability to perform online exploration. If no optimization constraints are applied, this can lead to format collapse in bounded, continuous spaces. To resolve this, we propose Direct Preference Density Alignment: An alternative framework that removes the need for a learned proxy reward mode
